# Get video thumbnail
Each YouTube video has four generated images. They are predictably formatted as follows:
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/0.jpg
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/1.jpg
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/2.jpg
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/3.jpg
# Check video can be embedded
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id={VIDEO_ID}&part=status&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
The response from the API will include a status.embeddable
property, which will be set to true
if the video can be embedded on other websites, and false
if it cannot.
