On Dailymotion I used to get the video thumbnails with a link like this (see this question)

https://www.dailymotion.com/thumbnail/video/{video_id}

This doesn't seem to work anymore for newly uploaded videos (since 10/01/2019), but still works for videos uploaded before.

Links still working:

video:     https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7ly7gc
thumbnail: https://www.dailymotion.com/thumbnail/720/video/x7ly7gc

Links not working anymore:

video:     https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7m2223
thumbnail: https://www.dailymotion.com/thumbnail/720/video/x7m2223

Is there any other way to get the thumbnails for the new videos without having to make calls to the API before displaying them ?

The only sustainable way to get your thumbnails urls is to use the API.

For example: https://api.dailymotion.com/video/x7m2223?fields=thumbnail_720_url
