Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Thank you for this plugin ! It provides a solid framework to support access to API of services that require OAuth. In my case it allowed me to create Google Calendar events (on form submission) by accessing API directly from my WP site without using Zapier or similar 3rd party services, so no more need to give Google account access to somebody else (also probably paying for subscription). It also gives me a far better control over calendar event customization.

Installed the Eventbrite API plugin and then this one and site kept whitescreening. Used 2015 theme with no other plugins apart from Eventbrite API and this one and still crashes site.

This is very handy when developing sites which interact in one way or another with external web services. Never again will I write or bundle an OAuth library. Definitely an under-appreciated and under-utilised little framework.
