Displayed image returned as 404

Question

get posts from an API and sometimes the image those posts contain is like this: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e5wXRrQfooc/default.jpg

But when I put it in a

<img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e5wXRrQfooc/default.jpg" />

It displayed a missing image icon:

It seems thats their return 404 image, but how do I get it when all I have is the url?

I think you are using the youtube API to show the video thumbnails There are a lot of posts already dealing with this i think

Thanks. Yes indeed i'm using youtube api and I am aware the user doesn't exist anymore / video was removed - how can I know it though by having the url only? I have a fallback-src url for those cases, but those links don't fallback but instead return me an image, but I can't display it – AlexD Mar 29 '15 at 13:49
