A continuously updated repository that monitors and collects data from the official WordPress Plugin Directory, automatically refreshed every 6 hours using GitHub Actions.

## 🚀 Overview

This repository serves as a comprehensive monitoring system for WordPress plugins, tracking the entire ecosystem from the official WordPress Plugin Directory. It provides developers, security researchers, and WordPress administrators with up-to-date plugin information and metadata.

## ⚙️ How It Works

### Automated Monitoring Pipeline

```yaml
Schedule: Runs every 6 hours
Trigger: Also on push to main branch
Process:
1. 📊 Queries WordPress Plugin API for total plugin count
2. 🔍 Scrapes plugin metadata using wppdm
3. 💾 Stores data in structured JSON format
4. ✅ Automatically commits and pushes updates
```

### Tools Used

- **wppdm**: Custom tool for WordPress plugin data mining
- **WordPress Plugin API**: Official source for plugin information
- **GitHub Actions**: For automation and scheduling
- **jq**: For JSON processing and data extraction

## 📂 Repository Structure

```
wordpress-plugins-monitor/
├── .github/workflows/
│   └── monitor.yml           # Automation workflow
├── plugins.json              # Plugin metadata (auto-generated)
├── plugins_count.txt         # Total plugin count (auto-generated)
└── README.md
```

## 🛠️ Usage

### Accessing Plugin Data

The collected data is available in two main formats:

1. **plugins_count.txt**: Contains the total number of plugins in the WordPress directory
2. **plugins.json**: Comprehensive metadata for all available plugins

### Example Usage

```bash
# Get total plugin count
cat plugins_count.txt

# Query specific plugin information from JSON
jq '.[] | select(.slug == "woocommerce")' plugins.json

# Extract plugin names and versions
jq '.[] | {name, version, downloaded}' plugins.json

# Find recently updated plugins
jq '.[] | select(.last_updated > "2024-01-01")' plugins.json
```

### For Developers

```python
import json
import requests

# Load plugin data directly from this repository
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rix4uni/wordpress-plugins/main/plugins.json"
response = requests.get(url)
plugins_data = response.json()

# Analyze plugin ecosystem
total_plugins = len(plugins_data)
active_plugins = [p for p in plugins_data if p.get('active_installs', 0) > 0]
recent_updates = [p for p in plugins_data if p.get('last_updated', '').startswith('2024')]
```
