On Dailymotion I used to get the video thumbnails with a link like this (see this question)
https://www.dailymotion.com/thumbnail/video/{video_id}
This doesn't seem to work anymore for newly uploaded videos (since 10/01/2019), but still works for videos uploaded before.
Links still working:
video: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7ly7gc
thumbnail: https://www.dailymotion.com/thumbnail/720/video/x7ly7gc
Links not working anymore:
video: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7m2223
thumbnail: https://www.dailymotion.com/thumbnail/720/video/x7m2223
Is there any other way to get the thumbnails for the new videos without having to make calls to the API before displaying them ?
The only sustainable way to get your thumbnails urls is to use the API.
For example: https://api.dailymotion.com/video/x7m2223?fields=thumbnail_720_url
