Market intelligence for the platform that runs 40%+ of the web. Search and monitor the official WordPress.org plugin and theme directories — active installs, ratings, update recency, compatibility, support-thread health — via the official API. Keyless and reliable.

What you can extract:

  • 🔍 Search plugins/themes by keyword ("seo", "backup", "membership")
  • 📊 Browse lists — most popular, newest, recently updated, top rated
  • 🔬 Full details for specific slugs (woocommerce, elementor, astra…)
  • 📈 Fields that matter: activeInstalls, rating100, numRatings, lastUpdated, testedUpTo, supportThreads

Quick start

  1. Click Run — the default searches plugins for "newsletter"
  2. Swap in your niche keyword or add slugs of plugins you track
  3. Schedule weekly + compare runs = a plugin market monitoring pipeline

Sample output

{
"type": "plugin",
"slug": "mailpoet",
"name": "MailPoet – Newsletters, Email Marketing, and Automation",
"url": "https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailpoet/",
"version": "5.3.2",
"author": "MailPoet",
"rating100": 92,
"numRatings": 1342,
"activeInstalls": 600000,
"lastUpdated": "2026-07-01 9:00am GMT",
"requiresWp": "6.5",
"testedUpTo": "6.8",
"requiresPhp": "7.4",
"shortDescription": "Send newsletters, welcome emails and automations...",
"supportThreads": 214,
"supportThreadsResolved": 195,
"tags": ["email", "newsletter", "email-marketing"]
}

Use cases

  • Plugin developers — track competitors' installs, ratings, and update cadence
  • Agencies — vet plugins before installing (abandoned? support backlog?)
  • Investors/acquirers — find popular-but-neglected plugins (high installs, stale updates)
  • Security teams — monitor lastUpdated and testedUpTo drift across a portfolio
  • Content/SEO — "best X plugins" listicles backed by live data
