[wp-hackers] API for wordpress.org/extend/plugins/?

[Christopher Ross]

Is there a way to query the plugins extended database on wordpress.org? 

I'm looking for a method that would allow me to fetch data such as how many plugins I currently have on the service, the downloads per plugins etc.  Also, to fetch version numbers of each plugin.


Currently I do it using RegEx and Curl, but I'm hoping there's a better way.
