This an on demand video which I've rented for only two days… I've tried with several working URLs:
https://vimeo.com/ondemand/godsavejustintrudeaudocu/109579633
https://vimeo.com/ondemand/godsavejustintrudeaudocu/
https://vimeo.com/ondemand/godsavejustintrudeaudocu
https://vimeo.com/109579633
http://productionsdelaruelle.com/PDLRweb/film-achat-et-location/ (user's website)
https://vimeo.com/ondemand/godsavejustintrudeaudocu/181060588 (another link to the same on demand video)

None of them allow me to download the file, I got the same error each time.

Thanks.

Does it mean that I have to give credentials to deal with the issue?

[Hrxn]

Did you try it with the embedding URL specified?

Like this: youtube-dl --referer URL ...

I don't know, maybe this one?

Yes, it actually works! I was sure to have tried every combination, but I missed this one…

Sorry to have posted this useless issue. Thanks!
