Vimeo scraper encounters spam protection page

[dylanfisher]

I'm not sure what this Cloudflare radar is, but it matches the response I'm getting in the video_info.data method https://radar.cloudflare.com/scan/682d43c4-cb03-4e66-853d-c27c573dd98f/dom.

Calling video_info.width, or any other method that is looking for a particular element in that data response, fails.

[27] pry(#<VideoModule>)> video_info.width
NoMethodError: undefined method `text' for nil:NilClass
from /Users/dylanfisher/.rbenv/versions/3.2.2/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/video_info-4.2.0/lib/video_info/providers/vimeo_scraper.rb:152:in `json_info'

Have you encountered this before? I'm wondering if it's new Vimeo protection, or just something that I haven't seen before.

Hi @dylanfisher, I haven't used my gem for quite some time, so haven't got to encounter this issue. If Vimeo decided to prevent scrapper, I would recommend trying the VimeoAPI provider instead.
