Try action=query=imageinfo:


This is what MultimediaViewer uses behind the scenes to describe the

[Wikitech-l] Author of wikipedia images

[Trung Dinh]

Hi everyone,

How can we programmatically (or from the data dump) get the author of the main 
image shown in a Wikipedia article. For example, the image for Barrack Obama 
page is 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#/media/File:President_Barack_Obama.jpg
 and the author of the image is Pete 
Souza.

Thanks!

Trung
