    copied!<p>Per the v3 API <a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos" rel="nofollow">spec</a>, videos that come back in searches should contain thumbnails. </p> <p>Up until 30 minutes ago, that was the case. </p> <p>However, now, the API is returning videos with no "thumbnails" attribute in the JSON. </p> <p>For example:</p> <p><a href="https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&amp;key=(key)&amp;id=Kq9z1gNjl0o" rel="nofollow">https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&amp;key=(key)&amp;id=Kq9z1gNjl0o</a></p> <p>Previously would return:</p> <pre> { "kind": "youtube#videoListResponse", "etag": "\"idnvT0N6oxG_2o6LCWUdZsqtqtk/flm_N0PUouBHj2piDWTowbpXlNM\"", "items": [ { "id": "Kq9z1gNjl0o", "kind": "youtube#video", "etag": "\"idnvT0N6oxG_2o6LCWUdZsqtqtk/9f5tPPIkXNmECTi095h9jBWV0s0\"", "snippet": { "publishedAt": "2010-06-27T00:07:30.000Z", "channelId": "UC3lizSW-J9kc8JR455mzv-w", "thumbnails": [ "small": { "url": "http://ytimg.com/someimage.jpg" } ] "title": "Kristen Bell - On Craig Ferguson - 4/19/08 - Wow", "description": "Interview", "channelTitle": "stewiefan33", "categoryId": "22" } } ] } </pre> <p>Now returns:</p> <pre> { "kind": "youtube#videoListResponse", "etag": "\"idnvT0N6oxG_2o6LCWUdZsqtqtk/flm_N0PUouBHj2piDWTowbpXlNM\"", "items": [ { "id": "Kq9z1gNjl0o", "kind": "youtube#video", "etag": "\"idnvT0N6oxG_2o6LCWUdZsqtqtk/9f5tPPIkXNmECTi095h9jBWV0s0\"", "snippet": { "publishedAt": "2010-06-27T00:07:30.000Z", "channelId": "UC3lizSW-J9kc8JR455mzv-w", "title": "Kristen Bell - On Craig Ferguson - 4/19/08 - Wow", "description": "Interview", "channelTitle": "stewiefan33", "categoryId": "22" } } ] } </pre> <p>The "thumbnails" field is gone, but still in the doc. Is this a bug in the API?</p>
