Is there a way to get the thumbnail of a video by its id, without querying the API for the video metadata?
For example, the following video https://www.twitch.tv/ogre2/v/73021329
Has the thumbnail

You would need to grab the ID and the character from the URL in this case v
and 73021329
and look it up on the API as per https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/v3_resources/videos.md#get-videosid
Which results in: https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/videos/v73021329
And you can use the thumbnails

I was trying to avoid having to use the API, but it’ll have to do.
Everything about everything is in a API somewhere.
