}Get a source thumbnail or animated preview
Get a thumbnail of a source. If you pass width/height, the aspect ratio must match the source’s native ratio. Omit both to default to the source’s native size.

Path Parameters
Video ID
Clip ID
Source ID
Query Parameters
Output format. Defaults to jpg.
jpg, png, webp, gif, mp4 "jpg"
Frame offset in ms from the source's start. Defaults to 0.
0 <= x <= 90071992547409911000
Duration of the animated preview in ms. Only valid when format is gif or mp4.
0 < x <= 90071992547409913000
Output width in pixels. The thumbnail keeps the source's aspect ratio; a missing side is derived from it.
0 < x <= 90071992547409911280
Output height in pixels. Derived from the source's aspect ratio when omitted.
0 < x <= 9007199254740991720
Suggest a download disposition on the signed URL.
true Set to 'json' to receive {url} instead of the default 302 redirect.
json Response
Returned when ?response=json is set
Signed CDN URL for the requested thumbnail. Returned only when ?response=json is set; otherwise the endpoint redirects to the URL with a 302.
