For the other people who are reading this: I also got this question.
Solved this by doing a query on the database, see
https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/14350
Parsing wikitext is generally messy. Quite a few identifier templates on
Commons (like https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Rijksmonument
) set a tracker category and use the identifier as the sorting key. This
way it's possible to keep track of what identifier is used on what page
(see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Categorylinks_table for the
database layout). In this case no tracker category was set so the
externallinks table was used as a fallback (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Externallinks_table ).

Hi everyone,
I am new to the Commons API and would like to know how to get (in a machine
readable way) the metadata found within the Summary section of a page.
In particular, given a File page like this one:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:African_Dusky_Nightjar_(Caprimulgus_pectoralis)_(W1CDR0000386_BD28).ogghttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:African_Dusky_Nightjar_(Caprimulgus_pectoralis)_(W1CDR0000386_BD28).ogg
I would like to get the "Europeana link" part... it is enough for me to get the
data as Wiki markup, but parsing the whole HTML would be too much :S
... btw, is there any way to query for such data? I have been using the API
Sandbox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox ) but could not find
a method that could do this...
Your help is really appreciated! Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Hugo
