Vimeo api authentication into rails app

Question

Vimeo writing Making Requests

After you have either an authenticated or unauthenticated access token (as explained in the preceding sections), send the access token through the authorization header:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <OAUTH_TOKEN>" https://api.vimeo.com

and it's work, but in my application I can't be authorized

RestClient.post 'https://api.vimeo.com/oauth/authorize/client', {grant_type: 'client_credentials', client_id: Rails.application.secrets.vimeo_id, client_secret: Rails.application.secrets.vimeo_secret}

RestClient::Unauthorized: 401 Unauthorized

Please somebody tell me how I can do authenticated to success...

You mentioned different requests. To get an access toket with RestClient do:

r = RestClient::Request.execute(method: :post, 
                            url: "https://api.vimeo.com/oauth/authorize/client",
                            payload: {grant_type: "client_credentials"},
                            user: VIMEO_CLIENT_ID,
                            password: VIMEO_CLIENT_SECRET)
=> "{\"access_token\":\"scrt12334\",\"token_type\":\"bearer\",\"scope\":\"public\",\"app\":{\"name\":\"test\",\"uri\":\"/apps/79881\"}}"

token = JSON.parse(r)['access_token']
=> "scrt12334"

And then get an API endpoints with Bearer authorization:

methods = RestClient::Request.execute(method: :get, url: "https://api.vimeo.com", payload: {}, headers: {"Authorization"=>"Bearer #{token}"})

=> "{\"endpoints\":[{\"path\":\"https://api.vimeo.com/\",\"methods\":[\"GET\",\"OPTIONS\"]},....
