I want to get a thumbnail image for videos from Vimeo.
When getting images from Youtube I just do like this:
http://img.youtube.com/vi/HwP5NG-3e8I/2.jpg
Any idea how to do for Vimeo?
From the Vimeo Simple API docs:
Making a Video Request
To get data about a specific video, use the following url:
http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/video_id.output
video_id The ID of the video you want information for.
output Specify the output type. We currently offer JSON, PHP, and XML formats.
So getting this URL http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/6271487.xml
<videos>
<video>

<thumbnail_small>http://ts.vimeo.com.s3.amazonaws.com/235/662/23566238_100.jpg</thumbnail_small>
<thumbnail_medium>http://ts.vimeo.com.s3.amazonaws.com/235/662/23566238_200.jpg</thumbnail_medium>
<thumbnail_large>http://ts.vimeo.com.s3.amazonaws.com/235/662/23566238_640.jpg</thumbnail_large>

</videos>
Parse this for every video to get the thumbnail
Here's approximate code in PHP
<?php
$imgid = 6271487;
$hash = unserialize(file_get_contents("http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/$imgid.php"));
echo $hash[0]['thumbnail_medium'];
