Thumbnail API's

Here are some useful links for thumbnail API's we are hoping to incorporate soon.

  • youtube.com
  • blip.tv
  • archive.org - Tracey shared the folowing info:
    http://www.archive.org/serve/bikeDiablo/format=Animated%20GIF
    http://www.archive.org/serve/bikeDiablo/format=Thumbnail

    the new part is "format=...." which will pick the (first alphabetical) filename
    in the item that is of that format.

    the "/serve/" (instead of "/download/") will make sure to *not* increment
    our download counts on our servers (since if you are just trying to embed
    an image in a page somewhere, it's not really like a user clicked on some
    file in the item and "download"-ed it)
