Biggest opportunity: Swap “data feed” for “api”. “data feed” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “api” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.5%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 260K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 864 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “data feed” for “api”. “data feed” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “api” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Been using Datafeedr API for many years, the best part is the support – I almost always get personal help within a day if there is any problem or question. Highly recommend!

Seemed good at first but many key merchants were not signed up and they expect you to get them to sign up to their system. The biggest issue it the huge additional cost of not only storing all the images but also the associated data relating to that data. Ended up costing me hundreds of pounds extra in data costs but would have been ALLOT more to make it worthwhile. When i then tried to delete the data following their instructions, it would not delete. they told me to follow their instructions and it was due to wp the data could not be deleted and i had to wait a month. I could not then even back up my data due to reaching my limits with my host. They don’t even have any way to delete the data saying its down to WP not them and refer you to 3rd party software to do so. the 2 3rd part solutions to remove the data also did not work. I am now stuck with thousands of images and associated data that i have to manually delete,. this will take a LONG time. Very disappointed.

This service is expensive for beginners. You will not get any results unless you continue to spend money. Product that has been posted will not appear on your website when your quota is up and continue to spend money to keep appearing. Stay away from any datafeed service, better using API Service.
