Sorry, but that's the only one I saw.

Did some basic investigation of the URL supplied by @rsfinlayson and here are my findings:

remember the path segment after /v/ containing the ID (60aadcf491e5e200248ec034)
get the JSON blob (can include undefined) in a script tag that's assigned to window.__data
- this regex is nowhere near functional, but it's a start: r"<script charSet=\"UTF-8\">window\.__data=(.*);</script>"
to get the video with the Cameo watermark: root['orders']['orders'][<id>]['mediaUrl']
to get the video without the watermark: root['orders']['orders'][<id>]['nakedMediaUrl']
other attributes of interest at root['orders']['orders'][<id>] include:
- "thumbnailUrl" and "nakedThumbnailUrl"
- "_id" (id used in URL) and "id" (internal id)
- "likes"
- "mediaDurationInMillis"
- "mediaResolution"
  - "height"
  - "width"
- "createdAt", "updatedAt", "completedAt", and "expiresAt"
- "instructions"
the creator's name can be fetched from the title:

<title data-rh="true">Cameo - Cameo by Natasha Henstridge for Adam Carolla</title>

Don't know if I'll make the extractor myself, but I hope I am of help to anyone that does. Should be pretty easy if you can figure out an easy way to drag out that JSON blob.

I've also gathered more URLs. Seeing how Cameo requests seemingly expire, making test cases will probably be pointless, but who cares:

We can also get multiple orders made by a user at once and create a playlist. We'll be using https://www.cameo.com/natashahenstridge as our test case.

get the JSON blob assigned to window.__data again
iterate over all keys and values in root['orders']['orders'] and parse them the same way we would a video page

We can also get a lot of information about the user account by looking at the only key in root['users']['users'] which can be retrieved from root['users']['selectedUserId']:

"name"
"bio"
"createdAt"
"imageUrl"
