WordPress.org has an API that provides data on each WordPress plugin: listing how often it’s been downloaded, how well it’s rated, etc. We can fetch any such API and display its results on our page. The API for the JCI Plugin is at https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/json-content-importer.json.
