YouTube API — getting video thumbnail
| Each YouTube video has 4 generated images. They are predictably formatted as follows: | |
| http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/0.jpg | |
| http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/1.jpg | |
| http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/2.jpg | |
| http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/3.jpg | |
| The first one in the list is a full size image and others are thumbnail images. The default thumbnail image (ie. one of 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg) is: | |
| http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/default.jpg | |
| For the high quality version of the thumbnail use a url similar to this: | |
| http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/hqdefault.jpg | |
| There is also a medium quality version of the thumbnail, using a url similar to the HQ: | |
| http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/mqdefault.jpg | |
| For the standard definition version of the thumbnail, use a url similar to this: | |
| http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/sddefault.jpg | |
| For the maximum resolution version of the thumbnail use a url similar to this: | |
| http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/maxresdefault.jpg |
