/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&prop=pageimages&list=&generator=readinglistentries&formatversion=2&piprop=thumbnail&pithumbsize=50&grlelists=210908
Was hoping to be able to pipe readinglistentries into pageimages to generate a list of pages with metadata. Doesn't seem like this is possible.
Are there any plans to support this (at least for lists where the project is the local wiki)?

@Fjalapeno The generators are used in the mw api for piping the results of a query to a different query. That way you can combine multiple api requests with just one call.
In this case, it would be to get the items on a list, and then pipe that to a new query to get the summaries and the thumbnails, so that the end result of one call has the reading list items with the summaries and images or whatever web needs.
I guess it is kind of what the restbase layer does for those endpoints.
Making modules act as generators is little extra effort and should be done whenever appropriate. readinglistentries does act as a generator (otherwise you'd get an error when supplying generator=readinglistentries), I just broke it when switching from en.wikipedia.org style project names to https://en.wikipedia.org style ones.
