Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Hello,

I was testing some options and I found two ways to extract the thumbnail of the video on Facebook.
As I do not work with Python, I'll leave a Shell Script code to assist.

With the user logged off.

curl "https://www.facebook.com/andressoncostaoficial/videos/713796082045907/" | \
grep -Eo "<meta[^>]property=\"og:image\"[^>]*\/>" | \
sed -rn 's/.*content="(.+)".*/\1/p'

With the user logged in.

curl -b "Cookie of the user logged in" "https://www.facebook.com/andressoncostaoficial/videos/713796082045907/" | \
grep -Eo '<img[^>]*class="_4lpf"[^>]*\/>' | \
sed -rn 's/.*src="(.+)".*/\1/p'

Thanks for the script! I've added the og:image approach, which will be included in the next version. The _4lpf way does not work here. I guess they constantly change the class name. If you know how to capture the thumbnail for logged-in users, feel free to leave a comment below.
