How to get the video thumbnail from Dailymotion video from the video id of that video like in youtube?

Question

For youtube I use something like this:

/0.jpg\" alt=\"\" widt         


        

Answer 1

Using the Dailymotion API

https://api.dailymotion.com/video/VIDEO_ID?fields=field1,field2,...

Replace field1,field2 with

thumbnail_large_url (320px by 240px)
thumbnail_medium_url (160px by 120px)
thumbnail_small_url (80px by 60px)

This API request does not require any Access Tokens.

Example : https://api.dailymotion.com/video/xjfn0s?fields=thumbnail_small_url

This HTTP request returns a JSON data with the image link of the video. For processing JSON data check PHP Manual - JSON Decode

EDIT As suggested by Ravi using http://www.dailymotion.com/thumbnail/video/video_id is pretty straight forward. But different resolution images use the API
