Hi,

What is the best way to get the main image of a wiki page? For example, I would like to retrieve

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Steve_Jobs_Headshot... for the Steve Jobs wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs .

thanks

You did actually specify a thumbnail link in your previous email so I assumed that would be okay. It should be possible to take the pageimage value and use a query like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url&titles=File:Steve_Jobs_Headshot_2010-CROP.jpg &prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url&titles=File:Steve_Jobs_Headshot_2010-CROP.jpg to get the URL you want.

You can pass the "pithumbsize" argument to the pageimages API with the desired size. However, it looks like there's no way to retrieve the original size used on the page.
