Re: [Mediawiki-api] Wikipedia image

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&iipro... to get the URL you want.

thanks, but I get the thumbnail image https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Steve_Jobs_Headshot_2010-CROP.jpg/50px-Steve_Jobs_Headshot_2010-CROP.jpg 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.

Hi,

What is the best way to get the main image of a wiki page? For example, I would like to retrieve

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Steve_Jobs_Headshot... for the Steve Jobs wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs.

thanks
