Downloading a YouTube thumbnail is a classic Python task that involves two main steps: extracting the unique Video ID from a URL and then fetching the image from Google's thumbnail servers.

Because YouTube uses a predictable URL structure for its images, you don't actually need the heavy pytube library just to get the thumbnail-standard requests will do the trick!

While Postman doesn't have a single "Clear Cache" button that directly affects API results (as it doesn't cache external API responses), the core issue often lies in two areas that mimic caching: DNS resolution and request state persistence.
