I was working lately on a template on commons related to automatic overlay KML creation (see [1] for KML use on Commons). Two of the items I need but do not know how to access are full file dimensions in pixels and the url to the raw image (like [2]). I think with Lua, I can use HTML Parser [3] to parse the file page, but there must be a simpler way to access those.

You can link to special:filepath/filename to get path, but full
dimensions
are unavailablr.
Wouldn't it be a solution to add the full dimensions (+ MIME type etc) to the API (&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=extmetadata), would it?

I believe Jarek is looking to get the info from wikitext, so that wouldnt help him. Additionally if you have access to the api, you can use iiprop=dimensions already.
This is a somewhat commonly requested thing (e.g. some folks on wikipedia want to make a gallery lua module that takes aspect ratio into account), so adding an interface to lua to retrieve this info would make sense imo.
