No thumbnail for linkedin video using the ugcPosts API

Question

I tried to retrieve a video post thumbnail using the ugcPosts API, but media.thumbnails array is empty:

"media": [
 {
   "media": "urn:li:digitalmediaAsset:xxxx",
   "thumbnails": [],
   "status": "READY"
 }
]

Is there any way to retrieve a video thumbnail besides this API?

Already tried this https://mcmap.net/q/1917539/-linkedin-api-ugcpost-video-url-is-missing

Answer 1

Unfortunately, video thumbnail is not retrievable at the movement using APIs that are externalized as mentioned in below document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/shares/ugc-post-api

thumbnails: The thumbnails saved from the ingestion of this article. Video thumbnails are not retrievable.
