Andre had a posting earlier this year where he stated that he used OAuth2 for his FaceBook Lib:

And his FaceBook Lib is located here:

My app is registered with Vimeo and I have the authorization info generated for it. The Vimeo API playground is very helpful regarding API calls, but not so much on the initial login. The Vimeo docs are written for those with more web dev experience than I have, so I need some help.
