http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=U2&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&rvsection=0 This simply returns everything before the first == Section == header. As for the image: there's no such thing as *the* image belonging to a page. You can get all images on a page, of course, using http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=U2&prop=images (Note that these two queries can also be combined by using prop=revisions|images .)
