[wp-hackers] Wordpress Plugin API

[Luke Bryan]

Greetings,

I'm having some trouble using the api as described here:
http://dd32.id.au/projects/wordpressorg-plugin-information-api-docs/
http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creative-coding/interacting-with-wordpress-plug-in-theme-api/

I'm using:
    $browseargs = array(
        'search' => $args->search,
        'fields' => array(
            'version'=>false,
            'author'=>false,
            'preview_url'=>FALSE,
            'screenshot_url'=>FALSE,
            'screenshot_count'=>FALSE,
            'screenshots'=>FALSE,
            'rating'=>FALSE,
            'num_ratings'=>FALSE,
            'downloaded'=>FALSE,
            'sections'=>FALSE,
            'description'=>FALSE,
            'download_link'=>FALSE,
            'slug'   => TRUE         )
    );

    $request = wp_remote_post('http://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/',
array( 'timeout' => 15, 'body' => array('action' => $action, 'request' =>
serialize((object)$browseargs))));
... and requesting it as described in the link above.

I'm trying to just get the slug for plugins, and while I've been able to
expand search to return many, many plugins, the fields parameter isn't
doing what it says it does on the documentation. It always sends back the
full name, slug, version... in a slower long response. I'm wondering, has
this parameter been renamed?

Best regards,
Luke
