Accessing main picture of wikipedia page by API

Question

Is there any way I can access the thumbnail picture of any wikipedia page by using an API? I mean the image on the top right side in box. Is there any APIs for that?

Answer 1

See this related question on an API for Wikipedia. However, I would not know if it is possible to retrieve the thumbnail picture through an API.

You can also consider just parsing the web page to find the image URL, and retrieve the image that way.
