This means that I have to make many (order of 2) calls to get absolute paths of all images in an article. Is there any way this all can be squeezed into just one API call?

Depending on what you want the actual URL for, you may find that linking to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FilePath/Pakistan%20Int%20AL%20B77... is easier, and avoids the need for the second step.

Thanks, Thats precisely what I was looking.
