@clicksuite/video-thumbnail

This is a simple package to fetch a video thumbnail from a video URL. Supports Patterns defined by radiovisual/get-video-id.

Currently only works with YouTube and Vimeo.

As Vimeo needs an API request to fetch a URL, the function is asynchronous.

Usage

Simply import and pass in a URL:

import { getVideoInfo } from '@clicksuite/video-thumbnail'

const info = await getVideoInfo(`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ`);

console.log(info);

//    "sourceUrl": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
