}
}

I need to include one main picture for each headline; but the response data doesn't contains any image URL. Is it possible to get image URL using any methods; please help me on this...

Or you can add &show-elemets=image to your API endpoint and get elements property in response. See below example

http://content.guardianapis.com/search?page=20&q={query}&api-key={myKey}&show-elements=image

see documentation

You must include &show-fields=thumbnail in your request URL like this: http://content.guardianapis.com/search?page=20&q={query}&api-key={myKey}&show-fields=thumbnail
