prop - Which pieces of information to get
wikitext - The expanded wikitext
categories - Any categories present in the input that are not represented in the wikitext output
volatile - Whether the output is volatile and should not be reused elsewhere within the page
ttl - The maximum time after which caches of the result should be invalidated
parsetree - The XML parse tree of the input
Note that if no values are selected, the result will contain the wikitext,
but the output will be in a deprecated format.

We should also request and extract the categories.
Other bits we'd like to get:
- resourceloader modules added by parser functions (I *think* that's possible)
- html-ness of the output (can be set by the extension: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Parser_functions#Controlling_the_parsing_of_output)

To clarify, the "we'd like to get" bits are things that aren't exposed by the expandtemplates API yet. We'd need to add them to the PHP API.

For the categories, there's bug #70196, and for the modules there's bug #67540. For the html-ness of the output I think it's better to open a new bug, specially if the current PHP API doesn't provide it yet.
