Comment (by debarghyabanerjee):

 Hi @wpessential,

 Thanks for raising the ticket. I've reviewed the core code and found that
 the downloaded parameter is part of the fields in the argument. According
 to the documentation, the `downloaded` parameter is set to true by
 default, which means that the response from the API
 **`api.wordpress.org/plugins/`**) will include the `downloaded` field by
 default.

 To clarify, the plugin_api() function makes a remote request to
 `api.wordpress.org/plugins/` to fetch plugin details. As part of the
 response, the downloaded field will be included unless you specify
 otherwise. If you want to exclude this field from the response, you can
 pass `'fields' => array( 'downloaded' => false )` in the arguments.

 For further reference, you can check the Codex documentation here:

 Let me know if you have any questions!
