'Get Vimeo thumbnails for private videos

I have a list of Vimeo private video urls (https://player.vimeo.com/video/1234567890), which I'd like to display as thumbnails on my page. I can't find a working way to do it.

Any solutions based on http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/{id} are long dead.

And something like this https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/1234567890.jpg would return the wrong image.

Is there a way to get an image thumbnail url based on video id without authorization ?

UPDATE

In my case, I manged to get the thumbnail_url by querying

GET https://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url=https://player.vimeo.com/video/{id}

I just found the solution for getting the Meta Data from Vimeo, with private videos. You can see the solution here:
