If you know what the external link looks like (does it always start with "http://www.europeana.eu/“?) and the page(s) you’re interested in, you can use ‘extlinks’ to find all external links on a set of pages:
- https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=File:African%20Dusky%20Nightjar%20(Caprimulgus%20pectoralis)%20(W1CDR0000386%20BD28).ogg&prop=extlinks You can also get a list of every page on the Commons that has a URL containing "europeana.eu/portal/record”, like in Special:Linksearch: - https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=exturlusage&euquery=europeana.eu/portal/record&eulimit=500 I don’t think there’s an API to parse the Information template yet. DBpedia tries to do this (e.g. http://commons.dbpedia.org/page/File:These_three_geese.jpg), but I couldn’t find the file you were interested in on their website.
