Ask HN: Thumbnail API

I'm working on a project where I sometimes need to create thumbnails of a video. After some Googling, it doesn't seem like there is an API that will just give me a thumbnail of a video. The APIs that do exist want to me encode the entire video and as part of the encoding I can get a thumbnail.

Would this sort of API be helpful to anyone else? If so, I'd be happy to work on opening it up. If not, I'll just keep it to myself.
