Where slug is the sanitized version of the plugin name, such as wp-plugin-data

And parameter is one of the following:

• name - The name of the plugin
• slug - The plugin slug
• version - The plugin version number
• author - A formatted link to the plugin author's homepage with the author's name as the link text (if the author doesn't have a homepage this will simply display their name)

• downloaded - The all-time download count with comma-separated thousands (eg. "12,345")
• downloaded_raw - The all-time download count as a raw number (eg. "12345")
• last_updated - The date the plugin was last updated, formatted according to your Date Format settings under Settings->General (eg. "20 January 2008")

• link_url - The URL of the plugin's page on the WP Plugin Directory
• download_url - The URL of the plugin's ZIP file
• tags - A comma-separated list of the plugin's tags

Additionally, there is a secondary shortcode for parameters that return formated links

[wppdlink slug parameter]Link Text[/wppdlink]

• homepage - A formated link to the plugin's homepage with the specified link text
• link - A formatted link to the plugin's page on the WP Plugin Directory with the specified link text
• download - A formatted link to the plugin's ZIP file with the specified link text

You can also use [wppd slug parameter] as the content. For example:

[wppdlink wp-plugin-data download]WP Plugin Data - v[wppd wp-plugin-data version][/wppdlink]

Would return:

<a href="http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-plugin-data.zip">WP Plugin Data - v0.5</a>
