Hello! Is there a way to get a preview image url of a post/ad no matter if it's a video or an image? Hope you can help me, thanks! 👍

Sure: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/generatepreview/v3.3

There's also a fbad_preview_ad helper to hit that, but honestly I have not used for years by now, so no recent hands-on experience. Please open a new ticket if you run into any issues.
