As other's have mentioned, you would use prop=pageimages in your API query. If you also want the image description, you would use prop=pageimages|pageterms instead in your API query.

Get the contents of a page using the Parse API (as HTML or wikitext). Get plain text or limited HTML extracts of a page using the API of the TextExtracts extension.
There's little documentation on image/thumbnail URLs besides T153497. You can use Special:FilePath and/or thumb.php:
