Thank you very much Daniel, this is exactly what I was looking for.
Just to be sure, is that timestamp also updated when a template in the
page is changed? I would expect so.

You can check recentchanges for the page. Relevant
changes to wikidata items
used on a page are injected into the recentchanges stream, so they show up in
the watchlist of people watching the page on wikipedia. You may need to set
rctype=edit|external in your API query though.
Note that this does not (yet) work for the page history, just recentchanges.
You can also look at the "touched" timestamp as returned by the API:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&titles=Main%20Page>
This will be updated whenever the page is purged/rerendered, e.g. when a
template changed - or a wikidata item.

With the advent of Wikidata-based infoboxes, the
page contents can
change without the local text being changed, so without a new
revision. Is there any way tho find out when this happens from the
API? I know I can always do 2 API calls, one for the page and one for
the item, but that's time consuming.
Thanks,
Strainu
