Upload videos to vimeo account using Java

I am developing a functionality in liferay 6.1.1 where I need to upload videos to a vimeo account.

I have gone through vimeo's site (http://developer.vimeo.com/) to get its API. But didn't get any API to make download and use. Can anybody guide me how I can use this API to upload videos on any vimeos's account?

As documented on the Vimeo API page you need to send out a series of HTTP requests to their server. The easiest way to upload a file is to use Apache's HttpClient library.

In step 3 you actually do the upload, and how it is done you can see on this page. It basically boils down to this:

NOTE: This code is only a general idea, it is untested and will most likely not compile.

/**
 * Uploads a file to Vimeo server.
 * @returns null if successful, error line otherwise.
 */
public String uploadVideoFile(String vimeoUrl, String ticketId, File file) throws Exception 
{
    HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost(vimeoUrl);
    try {
        MultipartEntity multiPartEntity = new MultipartEntity();
        multiPartEntity.addPart("ticket_id", new StringBody(ticketId));
        multiPartEntity.addPart("chunk_id", new StringBody("0"));

        FileBody fileBody = new FileBody(file, "application/octect-stream");
        multiPartEntity.addPart("file_data", fileBody);

        postRequest.setEntity(multiPartEntity);
        HttpResponse response = client.execute(postRequest);

        if (response != null && response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() != 200) {
            return response.getStatusLine();
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }

    return null;
}

Call it like this:

String status = uploadVideoFile("http://1.2.3.4/upload_multi",
            ticket, file);

You could also try using the streaming method as explained on the Vimeo page.
