    That’s perfect.

    Thanks for your help Yorman

    NB:
    The link in the post didn’t correctly transcribed here but was correct in the mail I received and is correct in the stackoverflow post.
    (add brackets around the word ‘slug’)

    Thanks again.

    In case someone else want to do the same, here is a easy way to achieve that (in Python):

    This example is for the plugin akismet.
    You just have to change the name at the end of the url var to match the plugin you want.

    Also, you can get different format from the server.
    You just have to change the extension (.json / .xml / .php)

    #! /usr/bin/env python

from urllib2 import urlopen
import json

url = 'https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/akismet.json'
response = urlopen(url).read()

try:
    json_response = json.loads(response)

# This to print everything
#    print json.dumps(json_response, sort_keys=True, indent=4)

    print "Version: ", json_response['version']
    print "requires: ", json_response['requires']
    print "tested: ", json_response['tested']
    print "last_updated: ", json_response['last_updated']

except (ValueError, KeyError, TypeError):
    print "error"

    Yeepee.. I found the solution.
    (the problem is always to find the right words to use in the search)

    wordpress-plugin-api-latest-download
    It’s in Php, but that’s much much better than nothing.
    I’ll try to make it work with Python.
