Pafy - Getting Extra Large Thumbnail of Video

Pafy is a Python library used to retrieve YouTube content and metadata. One of the things you can retrieve using Pafy is the thumbnail of a video. Thumbnails are available in various resolutions, including an extra-large version.

Here's how you can get the extra-large thumbnail of a video using Pafy:

  • First, make sure to install the required packages:
pip install pafy youtube_dl

Note: Pafy often uses youtube_dl as a backend, so it's essential to install both.

  • Then, you can use the following code to get the extra-large thumbnail:
import pafy # URL of the YouTube video video_url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOUR_VIDEO_ID" # Create a video object video = pafy.new(video_url) # Get the extra-large thumbnail URL thumbnail_url = video.bigthumb print(thumbnail_url)

Replace YOUR_VIDEO_ID with the actual video ID you're interested in.

The URL printed can be used to view or download the extra-large thumbnail image.
