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

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

对于像我这样最近正试图弄清楚这个问题的人来说，

https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/[video_id]_[dimension].webp适合我。

(其中尺寸= 200x150 | 640)

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

源

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

下面是一个如何在ASP中做同样的事情的例子。NET使用c#。请随意使用不同的错误捕获图像:)

public string GetVimeoPreviewImage(string vimeoURL)
{
    try
    {
        string vimeoUrl = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlEncode(vimeoURL);
        int pos = vimeoUrl.LastIndexOf(".com");
        string videoID = vimeoUrl.Substring(pos + 4, 8);

        XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load("http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/" + videoID + ".xml");
        XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;
        string vimeoThumb = root.FirstChild.SelectSingleNode("thumbnail_medium").ChildNodes[0].Value;
        string imageURL = vimeoThumb;
        return imageURL;
    }
    catch
    {
        //cat with cheese on it's face fail
        return "http://bestofepicfail.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/cheese_fail.jpg";
    }
}

注意:当被请求时，你的API请求应该像这样:http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/32660708.xml
