# Downloading WordPress Plugin Database

 * I want to do my own advanced analysis of the 50,000+ WordPress plugins in the
   WordPress.org plugin directory. Is there a way I can download a database dump
   of all the plugin information?
 * In other words, I’d like a CSV file, XML file, JSON file or similar with 50,000-
   ish entries. Each entry would include:
 * 1. Plugin name
    2. Plugin author 3. Plugin version 4. Plugin description 5. Last
   updated 6. Active installations 7. WordPress versions 8. Tested up to 9. PHP 
   version 10. Tags 11. Maybe some popularity info 12. Whatever else is available
 * I DO NOT want the actual plugins. I just want a table of all the metadata.
 * Is this available anywhere? If not, is it possible to request this data and from
   whom?
 * Thank you.

 * You could query SVN, but it will shut you down if you ask too much.
    You could
   use the slurper, or a modification of it: [https://github.com/markjaquith/WordPress-Plugin-Directory-Slurper](https://github.com/markjaquith/WordPress-Plugin-Directory-Slurper)
 * You could use the Directory Searcher: [https://wpdirectory.net/](https://wpdirectory.net/)
