Turn the WordPress.org directory into a B2B lead list. Search by keyword and get, for every plugin or theme, the author, the author's company website, active installs, rating, downloads, maintenance signals, and a scraped contact email. One lead per plugin or theme.
WordPress powers a huge share of the web, so its plugin and theme authors are a captive market for hosting, security, dev tools, and agencies. This actor reads the official keyless WordPress.org API, so the listing stage is fast and reliable, with no scraping or API key.
- WordPress hosting prospecting plugin and theme authors and agencies.
- Security, backup, and performance SaaS selling to plugin developers.
- Page builders, marketplaces, and dev-tool vendors in the WP ecosystem.
- Agencies building partner and outreach lists.
- For each keyword it queries the WordPress.org plugin or theme directory, paginated (100 per page), and collects the listings.
- It ranks them by active installs and, for the top leads, fetches the author's company website to scrape a contact email.
- Each lead is scored and tiered, then pushed.
One row per plugin or theme:
