looking through the API: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php I can't find any way to get at the actual page contents. Is this correct?
Sure there is, you use something like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles...
That's the contents of the current revision of the Main Page.
Search for "prop=revisions" in the API documentation.
