    Is it possible to get to a thumbnail image without doing an API call, just using the video id & required size?

    For instance, is it possible to link to something similar to img.vimeo.com/thumbnail/[video_id]_[size].jpg which redirects to/displays the correct image.

    I don't think so. There is a way to do it through the simple api though. Something like: vimeo.com/api/user352137/all_user_clips/xml

    If you had videos up, in each clip would have a thumbnail_small, thumbnail_medium, and thumbnail_large.

    There's no way to guess the thumbnail URL.
