Mediawiki Image URL fetch

113 Views Asked by SomeJavaCoder At 04 April 2025 at 19:39

I am wondering if there is an API to fetch the image URL for a page on Wikipedia in BULK.

The API that I looked at is https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&redirects=&prop=extracts|pageimages|revisions&pithumbsize=200&exlimit=1&exintro=&explaintext=&exsectionformat=plain&titles=Abraham_Lincoln|China|Japan

but I get image URL only for the first title.

There are 1 best solutions below

The default value for pilimit is 1. If you want to get more pageimages in a single query, set it to a larger value, like max:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&redirects=&prop=extracts|pageimages|revisions&pithumbsize=200&exlimit=1&exintro=&explaintext=&exsectionformat=plain&titles=Abraham_Lincoln|China|Japan&pilimit=max
