I need to load up a few hundred MW pages with text and images.

Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php, I find several tools for getting information about images, but nothing for uploading them:

• prop=images (im) *
• prop=imageinfo (ii) *
• list=allimages (ai) *
• list=imageusage (iu) *

Am I missing something?

More generally, are there any tools other than pywikipediabot and the MW API that I should look into?

Uploading is something that I am still working on. I have made some necessary changes to the backend to make a suitable API module, but it still needs some work on the regular frontend. I want to have that fixed first before I continue on the API module. Unfortunately I currently don't really have time for it.
