How to get image url in wiki api?

Question

When I call the wiki APIs to access image URLs, I get image URLs like this,

File:Ad-tech London 2010 (2).JPG 

How to get the correct URL for this file from the wiki API?

Answer 1

You can get property URLs from an imageinfo request, for example:

 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=File:Test.jpg&prop=imageinfo&iilimit=50&iiend=2007-12-31T23:59:59Z&iiprop=timestamp|user|url 

See the MediaWiki API Help for more information.

Answer 2

There's a little documentation on image / thumbnail URLs other than T153497 . You can use Special:FilePath and / or thumb.php :

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FilePath/Ad-tech_London_2010_(2).JPG
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FilePath/Ad-tech_London_2010_(2).JPG?width=200 (to get a thumbnail width of 200 pixels)
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/thumb.php?f=Ad-tech_London_2010_(2).JPG&w=200
