title: Query Wikipedia pages with properties
body: <p>I need to use Wikipedia API Query or any other api such as Opensearch to query for a simple list of pages with some properties.</p>
  
  <p>Input: a list of page (article) titles or ids.<br>
  Output: a list of pages that contain the following properties each:<br>
  page id<br>
  title<br> 
  snippet/description (like in opensearch api)<br> 
  page url<br> 
  image url (like in opensearch api)<br></p>
  
  <p>A result similar to this:<br>
  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&amp;search=miles%20davis&amp;limit=20&amp;format=xml" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&amp;search=miles%20davis&amp;limit=20&amp;format=xml</a> <br>
  Only with page ids and not for a search, but rather an exact list of pages by either titles or pageids.</p>
  
  <p>This should be a fairly simple thing but I have been stuck with that for quite some time trying all kinds of URL combinations from the MW api manual, without success.</p>
