I am able to construct the URL for the image as http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ethiopian_-_Coin_Depicting_an_Anonym…. However I would like to get the thumbnail url, Title and the description for the images in this category with a query and get the output in XML or JSON format . Is it possible to construct such a query?

I am trying to get by media API query the url of thumbnail, image and description for all images in the following category web page: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Coins_in_the_Walters_Art_Museum I tried the following query: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?format=xml&action=query&list… which produced an XML output which gave me all the Image file names. With a file name I am able to construct the url for this file. For example with "File:Ethiopian - Coin Depicting an Anonymous King - Walters 59793 - Reverse.jpg" I am able to construct the URL for the image as http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ethiopian_-_Coin_Depicting_an_Anonym…. However I would like to get the thumbnail url, Title and the description for the images in this category with a query and get the output in XML or JSON format . Is it possible to construct such a query? Thanks. The XML output is given below: <?xml version="1.0"?> -<api>-<query>-<categorymembers><cm title="File:Ethiopian - Coin Depicting an Anonymous King - Walters 59793 - Obverse.jpg" ns="6" pageid="18842729"/><cm title="File:Ethiopian - Coin Depicting an Anonymous King - Walters 59793 - Reverse.jpg" ns="6" pageid="18842732"/><cm title="File:Ethiopian - One of Two Coins Depicting Ousanas and an Anonymous King - Walters 59794.jpg" ns="6" pageid="18809697"/><cm title="File:Greek - Apollo - Walters 59533.jpg" ns="6" pageid="18787772"/><cm title="File:Greek - Athena - Walters 59519 - Obverse.jpg" ns="6" pageid="18801612"/><cm title="File:Greek - Athena - Walters 59519 - Reverse.jpg" ns="6" pageid="18801616"/><cm title="File:Greek - Athena - Walters 59702 - Back.jpg" ns="6" pageid="18787788"/><cm title="File:Greek - Persephone - Walters 59693.jpg" ns="6" pageid="18787786"/><cm title="File:Greek - Tetradrachme with King Nicodemus II - Walters 59723 - Back.jpg" ns="6" pageid="18787795"/><cm title="File:Matthes Gebel - Medal of Arnold and Nicholas Wenck - Walters 59480 - Obverse.jpg" ns="6" pageid="18839416"/></categorymembers></query>-<query-continue><categorymembers cmcontinue="file|7e524f4d414e202d20434f494e2057495448204120484950504f504f54414d555320414e4420504f525452414954204f46204f544143494c494120534556455241202d2057414c54455253203539373531202d204241434b2e4a50470a524f4d414e202d20434f494e2057495448204120484950504f504f54414d555320414e4420504f525452414954204f46204f544143494c494120534556455241202d2057414c54455253203539373531202d204241434b2e4a5047|18787799"/></query-continue></api> -- View this message in context: http://wikimedia.7.n6.nabble.com/Api-Query-for-thumbnail-images-title-etc-i… Sent from the WikiMedia Commons mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list Commons-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
