If you know what the external link looks like (does it always start with "http://www.europeana.eu/%E2%80%9C?) and the page(s) you’re interested in, you can use ‘extlinks’ to find all external links on a set of pages:
- https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=File:African...
You can also get a list of every page on the Commons that has a URL containing "europeana.eu/portal/record”, like in Special:Linksearch:
- https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=exturlusage&am...
I don’t think there’s an API to parse the Information template yet. DBpedia tries to do this (e.g. http://commons.dbpedia.org/page/File:These_three_geese.jpg), but I couldn’t find the file you were interested in on their website.
Hope that helps!
cheers, Gaurav

One option (old, unmaintained code, no support, no warranty, good luck) would be my attempt at parsing this: https://tools.wmflabs.org/magnustools/commonsapi.php

I am new to the Commons API and would like to know how to get (in a machine readable way) the metadata found within the Summary section of a page.
In particular, given a File page like this one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:African_Dusky_Nightjar_(Caprimulgus_...
I would like to get the "Europeana link" part... it is enough for me to get the data as Wiki markup, but parsing the whole HTML would be too much :S
... btw, is there any way to query for such data? I have been using the API Sandbox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox ) but could not find a method that could do this...
Your help is really appreciated! Thank you in advance!
