If you pass the &indexpageids=1
parameter, the API will output an
array containing the page IDs used in the response.

Thanks .
Yes I can use xml and find contents inside
<rev></rev> tag, but how will
some one fetch synonym alone and part of speech alone?
The API does not provide a way to get just the IPA pronunciation, or
just the synonyms, or fetch any other semantic information. The only
thing that is offered is separation into sections using ==Headers== ,
for anything else you'll have to extract the information yourself
AFAIK.
Instead of separating contents with ==Headers== it will be freaking
awesome if it
is returned as array, This makes easy for end users. Else I
need to write my own parser.
