WordPress & WooCommerce Plugin Scraper: Stats & Churn Leads

Extract structured adoption intelligence, active install counts, historical download totals, unresolved support forum ratios, commercial pro URLs, and 1–5 star user reviews with automated churn and pain-point classification from the official WordPress.org Plugin Directory (wordpress.org/plugins).

---

Core Capabilities

1. Plugin Adoption, Support Health & Commercial Intelligence (record_type: "plugin_profile")

• Adoption & Growth Metrics: Exact active_installs tier, total_downloads counter, rating (0.0–5.0 scale), reviews_count, and full rating_breakdown (5 through 1 star counts).
• Support Resolution & Abandonware Signals: Extracts support_threads_total, support_threads_resolved, support_threads_unresolved, and support_resolution_rate_pct alongside last_updated, tested_wp, requires_wp, and requires_php.
• WooCommerce & Commercial Ecosystem Links: Flags is_woocommerce_extension, requires_plugins, business_model (commercial vs community), homepage_url, commercial_support_url, repository_url, and author_profile_url.

2. User Reviews & Churn Leads (record_type: "plugin_review")

• Star-Filtered Review Extraction: Extracts individual plugin reviews filtered by star rating (1–5 stars) with title, review_text, published_at, author_username, author_profile_url, and replies_count.
• Automated Pain-Point Classification (pain_point_tags): Tags reviews across 6 SaaS complaint categories: pricing_billing (aggressive upsells/paywalls), customer_support, bugs_reliability (fatal errors/conflicts), performance_speed (database bloat/slow queries), missing_features, and usability_setup.

3. Keyword & Tag Niche Discovery (searchQueries, tagSlugs)

Pass any search keywords (e.g., "woocommerce checkout", "booking calendar") or tag slugs ("woocommerce", "blocks", "ai") to automatically discover matching plugins and extract their profiles and user reviews.
