More about Plugin Rank
As explained by Poulson, Plugin Rank utilizes the WordPress.org API to retrieve a set of plugins for a search term. “It’s the same API that WordPress uses when a user searches for a plugin inside their WordPress dashboard or when searching on the plugin directory,” he added.
Simply said, the service checks the API on a daily basis to discover the latest positions of plugins for specific keywords that are tracked by Plugin Rank’s customers. The service uses this data to show position movement and the overall picture of how the plugins are ranking.
