Hi community, I recently purchased the Vimeo Uploader plugin and set everything up according to the provided tutorials. However when I test my setup I keep getting a parameter error that I can not seem to solve: Workflow error - The service Vimeo - Upload from a URL just returned an error (HTTP 400). Please contact the plugin author directly for feedback. Raw error: {“invalid\_parameters”:[{“field”:“privacy.download”,“error\_code”:2204,“error”:“You have provided an invalid parameter. Please contact developer of this application.”,“developer\_message”:“The parameters passed to this API endpoint didn’t pass Vimeo’s validation. Please check the invalid\_parameters list for more information.”}],“error”:“You have provided an invalid parameter. Please contact developer of this application.”,“link”:null,“developer\_message”:“The parameters passed to this API endpoint didn’t pass Vimeo’s validation. Please check the invalid\_parameters list for more information.”,“error\_code”:2204} Whatever I tried, nothing seems to solve it. I’ve contacted @lindsay_knowcode who says the setup is correct as he’s tested it on different accounts. I’ve checked the workflow parameters and they look fine, I’ve contacted Vimeo and they say the issue is not on their side. Which means I’m lost in the middle so I could use some expert help here. Willing to compensate for time spent of course.

Hi, If anyone has got video uploads to work with a _free_ Vimeo account using a private token access I’d be really interested to know how you do it. What works without any issues with a paid for Vimeo account fails with a free Vimeo account. I’ve compared the setup of the two tokens (one created in a free account, one created in a paid for Vimeo account) - side by side. They are created exactly the same way. The only difference is one is a free account, one is a paid for account. _Free_ - doesn’t work. _Paid_ for does work. I’ve compared the API calls when using a token from a free account vs a paid for account - as expected identical. I’ve compared the token setup, side by side, creating one in a free account and a paid for account, and the token and account setup is identical. I’m at the point where I think that video uploading to Vimeo with a _free_ account doesn’t work. And for completeness here is the API call `"{"upload":{"approach":"pull","link":"https://vimeo-uploader.bubbleapps.io/version-test/fileupload/f1646012347040x457478196795706430/yt5s.com-Motion%20Backgrounds%20For%20Edits%20__%20Free%20Video%20Background%20Loops%20-%20Copyright%20Free%20Backgrounds%28360p%29.mp4"},"privacy":{"view":"anybody","embed":"public","download":false},"name":"Test name","description":"test description"}"}` ---

Hey @lindsay_knowcode @renze 👋 Not sure if you can do API calls with a free account. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyone know? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/9/d/9dbd04a2bdfffabfc5bf3f2645ca630bdff92b92.png) ---

Hey @J805 , turns out the plugin only works with a paid Vimeo plan! ---

That’s what I was wondering. Glad you were able to figure it out. 😊
