If I want to get the thumbnail URL for a YouTube video, should I be using the "videos" API or the "thumbnails" API?

The YouTube API has a page for thumbnails and a page for videos. If I want the thumbnails for a certain YouTube video, which API should I be using?

I'm inclined to say the thumbnail API, but I can't figure out how to get information out of it? Can I only set with it? The first bullet point on the thumbnail API docs seems to indicate that I can get images from it:

A resource's snippet.thumbnails property is an object that identifies the thumbnail images available for that resource.
