I'm getting a JSON with all the text but what I need is just the key info for this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit (author's name, type of site, logo of the publication, etc.) Can I add any props to this string? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&format=json&prop=text§ion=0&page=Reddit&callback=?

Yes you will use Query instead of parse and you will send the parameter in prop
For example https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Reddit&prop=contributors

Note also that because there are more authors than the number that are returned with the first query, you will need to make several queries and use the [continue parameter](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query#Continuing_queries). – Jack Taylor Jun 27 '17 at 04:28
