You can use action=query&list=allpages with apprtype= and apprlevel= to find the protected pages.

The timestamp, reason and user may not part of the api yet.

Oops... I hadn't noticed. On the other hand, all information is effectively not provided via the API, it would be nice if it were available.

Something like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=allpages&gapprtype=edit&prop=info&inprop=protection gets you the protection levels and expiry, you're just missing the timestamp, user, and reason. If that were to be added, it'd probably make most sense to add an inprop.
