with http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Image:Albert%20Ein... you get the URL property you can download from.

Attribution or authorship is very much abstract, and you have no choice but to scrap the Information template content.

Hi All,

Is there a wiki API call available using which I can download the image and corresponding attribution in one API call?

For example, for this image http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Madonna_by_David_Shankbone.jpg, I need to fetch the actual Image and meta data information.

Thanks Param

Not the actual file. You can get the description/author/metadata and the url from which to download the file on one query, though.
