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

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: true adds one HTTP call per plugin (richer description/tags)
  • Directory browse (popular etc.) is used only when searchQueries is empty
  • Very large result sets should be capped with maxItems
