Re: [Commons-l] Api Query for thumbnail images, title etc in a category

[vjkumar]

Ryan,
Thanks a lot. I modified your query as a XML query and had good success.
Let me give the query I used and the information I was able to get for
reference in case some one has a similar issue.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=imageinfo&format=xml&iiprop=url|size&titles=File:Greek
- Apollo - Walters 59533.jpg&iiurlwidth=100&iiurlheight=100
 produces a XML response given below. The query response gives the URL of
the image as well as URL of  thumbnail created with the max width and height
parameter maintaining the aspect ratio.


<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<api>-<query>-<pages>-<page title="File:Greek - Apollo - Walters 59533.jpg"
ns="6" pageid="18787772" imagerepository="local">-<imageinfo><ii
