You can get text and images using the following query example

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&prop=text|images&page=google&format=json&origin=*

Then for each image, you can get the url, which can be used to download the image. For example

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&format=json&prop=imageinfo&titles=File%3ASemi-protection-shackle.svg&iiprop=url

Another example to get urls for all images on a page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&format=json&prop=imageinfo&rawcontinue=1&titles=google&generator=images&iiprop=url
