ruby_vimeo_upload.rb

# The following is a quick and dirty example of uploading to vimeo using ruby
# It assumes that you already have an access token for a user
require 'net/http'
require 'httparty'

ACCESS_TOKEN = "your access token here"

auth = "Bearer #{ACCESS_TOKEN}"

# get ticket
resp = HTTParty.post "https://api.vimeo.com/me/videos", headers: { "Authorization" => auth, "Accept" => "application/vnd.vimeo.*+json;version=3.2" }, body: { type: "streaming"}

ticket = JSON.parse(resp.body)
target = ticket["upload_link"]
size = File.size("movie.mp4")
last_byte = 0

# do upload
File.open("movie.mp4", "rb") do |f|
  uri = URI(target)
  while last_byte < size do
    # use Net::HTTP for this because HTTParty doesn't appear to work for this and sends too much data
    req = Net::HTTP::Put.new("#{uri.path}?#{uri.query}", initheader = { "Authorization" => auth, "Content-Length" => size.to_s, "Content-Range" => "bytes: #{last_byte}-#{size}/#{size}"} )
    req.body = f.read

    begin
      # upload some data
      response = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port).start {|http| http.request(req) }
    rescue Errno::EPIPE
      puts "error'd"
    end
    
    # check to see how much data was uploaded
    progress_resp = HTTParty.put target, headers: { "Content-Range" => 'bytes */*' }
    last_byte = progress_resp.headers["range"].split("-").last.to_i
    puts last_byte

# delete ticket
HTTParty.delete "https://api.vimeo.com#{ticket["complete_uri"]}", headers: { "Authorization" => auth }
