What resolution can I get?
Up to 1920×1080 when the uploader provided an HD source; otherwise the API’s 720p version is used automatically.

Completely. No account, no watermark, no limits beyond a short cooldown between requests.
Does it work for private videos?
No — only public videos expose their thumbnail through the API.
Is downloading thumbnails allowed?
The image comes from Dailymotion’s public API. Personal reference and research are fine; reusing someone else’s artwork commercially may infringe their rights.
