Using the Wikipedia API to retrieve the list of contents from a page

I want to extract the list of disciplines from this wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_academic_disciplines, and I want to know how can I do it using the Wikipedia API.

I tried as following : https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=List_of_action_films_of_the_2010s&contentmodel=wikitext&prop=wikitext&format=json

but this only retrieve the first section of the article, and I want to retrieve the section of Contents, so the result would look something like this :

{
Arts : {
"Performing Arts" : [all its sub-child],
"Visual arts" : [all its sub-child]
}
Geography: {....}

}

Is this possible using the Wikipedia API ?
