Hi,

I wanted to combine the sentence extraction https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&exsentences=1&titles=Steve_Jobs &prop=extracts&exsentences=1&titles=Steve_Jobs along with pageimages

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Steve%20Jobs&prop=pageimages&pithumbsize=300 &titles=Steve%20Jobs&prop=pageimages&pithumbsize=300

so that I get the description and image in one go. Is there a way to accomplish this?

thanks
