Looks like it... There may be a simpler way that I've missed, however.

You did actually specify a thumbnail link in your previous email so I assumed that would be okay. It should be possible to take the pageimage value and use a query like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url&titles=File:Steve_Jobs_Headshot_2010-CROP.jpg to get the URL you want.

thanks, but I get the thumbnail image as opposed to the bigger image on the Steve Jobs wikipedia page. Please let me know if there is a way to get the bigger image.
