WordPress.org
Follow the downloads of any plugin in the WordPress.org plugin directory, yours or anyone else’s. It’s public data, so there’s nothing to set up.

Good to know

- Try Metribay with it. Because it needs no account, WordPress.org is the quickest way to see Metribay working. Add any popular plugin to a test project.
- Editors can add it too. Since there are no credentials involved, editors can add WordPress.org sources without an owner.
- Downloads aren’t installs. WordPress.org counts downloads, including automatic updates. They’re a good trend signal, not a count of active sites.
