How to connect Vimeo to Databox
To connect a Vimeo Account in Databox, go to Data Manager > + New connection. Type Vimeo in the search bar and click on the green Connect button. Next, click the green Connect now button.
This will open the Authorization window, which is where you will be prompted to enter your Vimeo login credentials and authorize the Databox app.
Pro Tip: Each Vimeo Account must be connected as a separate Data Source in Databox (1 Account = 1 Data Source). Learn more here.
What's the maximum amount of historical data initially available when you use a new Vimeo Data Source Metric in Databox?
Pro Tip: Once your Vimeo Data Source is connected and actively syncing data, we store the data that's collected in our own database. This allows us to accumulate more data over time as more data syncs are made so that you can report on more historical Vimeo data in your Databox reports. Learn more here.
In order to start syncing data for a Metric, you can add it to your Metrics screen, use it in a Scorecard, set a Goal around it, create an Alert for it, or add it to a Databoard. Learn more here.
What time zone does Vimeo data sync in?
Vimeo data is synced in the UTC time zone.
How often does Vimeo data sync?
All Vimeo Data Sources will sync every hour with Databox. Learn more here.

Metric Considerations
As of April 2025, due to architectural and product changes, some dimensional metrics have been restructured and are now available as dimensions within a new placeholder metric. The list of affected metrics is provided below.
| Old Metric Name | New Metric | New Dimension (Breakdown by) |
| Total Comments by Video | New Comments | Total by Video |
| New Comments by Video | New Comments | New by Video |
Granularity Restrictions
- Due to API limitations, hourly granularity is not supported. This may affect visualization options for Charts in Databox.
