Vimeo Roulette
I started futzing around with Vimeo’s oEmbed API a month ago, then realized I was lacking a solid JavaScript foundation. Googling things can only get you so far; sometimes you need an academic course start to finish. So down the rabbit hole I went!
I lucked out and found a fantastic JavaScript course on Learnable. (Thanks, New Relic, for the free Learnable trial for using your services!)
Vimeo’s oEmbed API is absurdly easy to use. No API Keys are required because you’re just embedding a video on your own site. Once I figure out how to use their oEmbed API, all I had to do was use JavaScript to find a random Vimeo Video ID, make sure the video exists, and load it from Vimeo.
