Gentlemen,
Thanks for your previous suggestions.Unfortunately I've been busy with
other things and I am just getting back to this.
I think I have found a reasonable strategy for searching images. I can use
this query (siilar to what was suggested by Platonides):
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&sr…
Then I can parse the result set and create another query which gets me the
urls:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=File:Chartr…
However, I am still encountering a problem --
commons.wikimedia.org doesn't
like requests that don't come from a browser. When I put these queries into
php I get a 403 error. Is there a url where I can search wikimedia
programatically?
regards,
Tim

Roan,
I've looked at search, but it only seems to return names of pages, not
images. Is there a way to make it return images?

Files are at namespace 6, which wasn't included in the provided query:
