Plugins Repository API for downloads/rating?

    I do web development fulltime, but am trying to branch into fulltime plugin development. One of the things I’d like to do is display the number of downloads a plugin has from the WP plugin directory.

    I’ve pretty much captured the repository look right now (https://press12.com/), but would like to give it that extra detail by adding the number of downloads – that way I could sort my future plugins by downloads, ratings, etc.

    I’d also like to grab the rating and version if possible, though this isn’t as important.

    Is this possible?

    [edit]
    I’m thinking there might be a way to at least get the version number by reading the latest tag in the plugins actual repository, but I’ll have to look into this.

    Not yet. Otto is working on an API for that though.

    At least it’s in the works :'(

    I think what I’ll do is clone the repository on GitHub, and just use the API there. It’s double the work (not really), but it sure beats making a CPT and manually updating the version number etc lol. Thanks!
