[YouTube-API] Future issue with retrieving thumbnails by inserting video id directly into url?

I'm displaying thumbs from youtube videos on my site by first extracting the id from video urls and then placing it inside the default version of the thumb url like so. <code><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/<?php echo $youtube_video_id; ?>/default.jpg"></code> My question is will this last for a long time or will this url for thumbs change in the near future? I tried using the api to fetch the url for videos but it added too much page speed time since I'm displaying 20+.
