You can pass the "pithumbsize" argument to the pageimages API with the desired size. However, it looks like there's no way to retrieve the original size used on the page.

Thanks, would that mean I would need to make 2 calls?

You did actually specify a thumbnail link in your previous email so I assumed that would be okay. It should be possible to take the pageimage value and use a query like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url&titles=File:Steve_Jobs_Headshot_2010-CROP.jpg to get the URL you want.

    thanks, but I get the thumbnail image
    
<https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Steve_Jobs_Headshot_2010-CROP.jpg/50px-Steve_Jobs_Headshot_2010-CROP.jpg>
    as opposed to the bigger image on the Steve Jobs wikipedia page.
    Please let me know if there is a way to get the bigger image.

        Hi,

        What is the best way to get the main image of a wiki page? For
        example, I would like to retrieve

        
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Steve_Jobs_Headshot_2010-CROP.jpg/220px-Steve_Jobs_Headshot_2010-CROP.jpg
        for the Steve Jobs wiki page
        <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs>.

        thanks
