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.
The API is content-agnostic. A wiki could contain the IPA pronunciation inside {{IPA|...}}, another could mark the definition with <font color="green"> </font> and most wouldn't even contain IPA not definitions (eg. it could be granny's blog).
That means that usually, you need to make your wiki-specific parser to fetch the pieces relevant for you.
