You can retrieve it easily by using below youtube api url “http://img.youtube.com/vi/” + youtubeVideoID + “/default.jpg”

the best way is to get the frame of the video and use that image frame with that youtube url:

NSString *urlStringImage=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://img.youtube.com/vi/%@/1.jpg",idOfYoutubeVideo];
NSData thumbnailImageData=[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlStringImage]];

Eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8cJKirMo-A

video id = K8cJKirMo-A

urlStringImage = http://img.youtube.com/vi/K8cJKirMo-A/default.jpg

use default.png instead of 1.jpg
