Hi @xinyadu!

We don't specify a version, so we get the latest revision, and we do not currently show revisionid in the data attribute. If we do, we can get it from lastrevid returned by get_query, for example:

>>> import wptools
>>> random_page = wptools.page()
>>> random_page.get_query()
>>> random_page.query('query')
'https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&exintro&formatversion=2&inprop=url|watchers&list=random&pithumbsize=240&pllimit=500&ppprop=disambiguation|wikibase_item&prop=extracts|info|links|pageassessments|pageimages|pageprops|pageterms|redirects&redirects&rdlimit=500&rnlimit=1&rnnamespace=0&titles=Frederick%20of%20Isenberg'

from the result...

    "query": {
        "pages": [
            {
                "title": "Frederick of Isenberg",
                "touched": "2019-04-11T11:27:14Z",
                "lastrevid": 855670751,

Would it be helpful to have lastrevid appear in random_page.data['revision']?
