If you pass the &indexpageids=1 parameter, the API will output an
array containing the page IDs used in the response.

The API does not provide a way to get just the IPA pronunciation, or
just the synonyms, or fetch any other semantic information. The only
thing that is offered is separation into sections using ==Headers== ,
for anything else you'll have to extract the information yourself
AFAIK.
Instead of separating contents with ==Headers== it will be freaking awesome if it is returned as array, This makes easy for end users. Else I need to write my own parser.
