# Download All Thumbnails From a YouTube Channel

**Use case:** 

Paste a channel and get the thumbnails of its latest videos in one ZIP: HD 1280x720 where the video has it, named by video title, with metadata.csv, plus the channel avatar and banner. Each row shows when the thumbnail was set and if it was changed after publishing. Example: the last 100 MrBeast videos.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/s_actors/youtube-thumbnail-downloader.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
