使用Ruby，你可以做以下事情，比如:

url                      = "http://www.vimeo.com/7592893"
vimeo_video_id           = url.scan(/vimeo.com\/(\d+)\/?/).flatten.to_s               # extract the video id
vimeo_video_json_url     = "http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/%s.json" % vimeo_video_id   # API call

# Parse the JSON and extract the thumbnail_large url
thumbnail_image_location = JSON.parse(open(vimeo_video_json_url).read).first['thumbnail_large'] rescue nil

function getVimeoInfo($link)
 {
    if (preg_match('~^http://(?:www\.)?vimeo\.com/(?:clip:)?(\d+)~', $link, $match)) 
    {
        $id = $match[1];
    }
    else
    {
        $id = substr($link,10,strlen($link));
    }

    if (!function_exists('curl_init')) die('CURL is not installed!');
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/$id.php");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
    $output = unserialize(curl_exec($ch));
    $output = $output[0];
    curl_close($ch);
    return $output;
}`

//在下面的函数传递缩略图url。

function save_image_local($thumbnail_url)
    {

         //for save image at local server
         $filename = time().'_hbk.jpg';
         $fullpath = '../../app/webroot/img/videos/image/'.$filename;

         file_put_contents ($fullpath,file_get_contents($thumbnail_url));

        return $filename;
    }

如果您不需要自动解决方案，您可以通过在这里输入vimeo ID: http://video.depone.eu/来找到缩略图URL

如果你正在寻找一个替代的解决方案，可以管理vimeo帐户，还有另一种方式，你只需添加每个视频你想显示到一个相册，然后使用API请求相册的详细信息-然后显示所有的缩略图和链接。这不是理想的，但可能有帮助。

API端点(游乐场)

推特与@vimeoapi对话

最简单的JavaScript方式，我发现，获得缩略图，无需搜索视频id是使用:

//Get the video thumbnail via Ajax
$.ajax({
    type:'GET',
    url: 'https://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url=' + encodeURIComponent(url),
    dataType: 'json',
    success: function(data) {
        console.log(data.thumbnail_url);
    }
});

注意:如果有人需要获得与视频id相关的视频缩略图，他可以将$id替换为视频id，并获得一个包含视频详细信息的XML:

http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/$id.xml

例子:

http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/198340486.xml

我创建了一个code depen来为您获取图像。

HTML

<input type="text" id="vimeoid" placeholder="257314493" value="257314493">
<button id="getVideo">Get Video</button>
<div id="output"></div>

JavaScript:

const videoIdInput = document.getElementById('vimeoid');
const getVideo = document.getElementById('getVideo');
const output = document.getElementById('output');

function getVideoThumbnails(videoid) {
  fetch(`https://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/${videoid}.json`)
  .then(response => {
    return response.text();
  })
  .then(data => {
    const { thumbnail_large, thumbnail_medium, thumbnail_small } = JSON.parse(data)[0];
    const small = `<img src="${thumbnail_small}"/>`;
    const medium = `<img src="${thumbnail_medium}"/>`;
    const large = `<img src="${thumbnail_large}"/>`;
    output.innerHTML = small + medium + large;
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.log(error);
  });
}

getVideo.addEventListener('click', e => {
  if (!isNaN(videoIdInput.value)) {
    getVideoThumbnails(videoIdInput.value);
  }
});
