WordPress.org Plugins Scraper — Pay Per Result
Scrape the official WordPress.org Plugins directory via the public Plugins API (no API key). Search by keyword, browse popular/new/updated/featured lists, or fetch by slug.
Store search keywords: WordPress plugins scraper · WordPress.org API · plugin directory · active installs · plugin SEO research
Why this Actor
| Pain on Store wrappers | What we do |
|---|---|
| Browser / Playwright cost | Pure HTTP (got-scraping) against the official JSON API |
| Opaque failures | Empty searches → not charged |
| Key friction | No API key required |
| Unclear pricing | Flat pay-per-result PPE (~$0.50–1/1k) |
Example input
{"searchQueries": ["SEO"],"slugs": ["akismet"],"maxItems": 50,"includeDetails": true}
Browse without a search term:
{"browse": "popular","maxItems": 100,"includeDetails": false}

Pricing
Pay-per-event for each delivered plugin.
- Empty queries / unknown slugs → not charged
- Exact $/1k is on the Store pricing tab
Limitations (honest)
- Data comes from WordPress.org’s public Plugins API (same directory the website uses)
includeDetails: trueadds one HTTP call per plugin (richer description/tags)- Directory browse (
popularetc.) is used only whensearchQueriesis empty - Very large result sets should be capped with
maxItems
