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

Hello,

You're not going to get a definite answer to that. We don't offer any
guarantees about that URL format staying the same, but at the same
time, I'm not aware of any plans to make that invalid. You should just
be ready to change your code to adjust the format that you're using if
it ever does change.

Cheers,
