Resetting the video thumbnail

Reset thumbnail

Resetting the video thumbnail to its auto-generated version is done by sending a DELETE request to the /videos/:videoId/thumbnail endpoint.

curl -X DELETE https://app.ignitevideo.cloud/api/videos/[VIDEO_ID]/thumbnail \ 
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"

Response

The response is the full Video object.

  • src.thumbnails is restored to the auto-generated thumbnail variants.
  • src.thumbnailUrl is set back to the 1080p variant (or the highest available variant) of the original thumbnail.
