 If you have a pro plan for your vimeo account, you can show your videos only for a specified domains. For an example, you have a website https://abc.com and you want to show your vimeo videos only in abc.com Otherwise you want to block someone outside from your website watching your vimeo videos.


This is not to teach you how to do  that but I will show you how to unblock the blocked content which is blocked using the above concept.


IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE URL TO THE VIDEO;

you can easily find the url of the video following these steps


navigate to a page that may have the link

right click on the page and select VIEW PAGE SOURCE

then the source code will appear in new tab and press CTRL + F to find the url we want

then type VIMEO in the new search bar and then browser will find the url for us

You have to copy it

LET THE HACK BEGIN

open your terminal (In Windows : Command Prompt ) and type the command below

        curl --referrer [allowed_domain] -o [file_name] [url_of_the_video]




The Site which allows you to watch videos with necessary permissions is [allowed_domain] and you can type any file name with .html extensionfor the [file_name] . URL of the video must be replaced with [url_of the video]
That's all and press enter to see the magic.A file with a [file-name.html] is created and open it with a browser. The video You want will be there
