Frequently asked questions
What does active installs mean?
It is the approximate number of live WordPress sites running that plugin or theme. It is the most reliable indicator of real adoption and market share, far more telling than downloads alone.
Can I find under-served niches?
Yes. Search a topic, then sort your export by active installs and rating. A keyword with high search demand but only low-install, low-rated options is a classic opening for a new plugin.
Does it cover themes too?
Yes. Switch the directory to themes to pull the theme directory with the same fields where available.
How do I get the plugin author as a lead?
Every record includes the author name and their author profile link, so you can build a contact list of active developers in any category.
How fresh is the data?
Installs, ratings and version numbers are read live at run time, so each record reflects the directory at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
