Popular Plugins && SVN
Forgive me if this is a rather stupid but I am writing some code using Python for a project at work and was wondering if there was a way to download the entire "Popular" plugins directory in a single shot? I currently have to to look at 34 pages:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/browse/popular/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/browse/popular/2
...

and parse data that way but is really inefficient. I see that I can check stuff out via svn

https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/svn/

and I can see all the plugins as a whole via:

https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/

But is there a better way that I can accomplish my goal?

Thank you in advance!

I guess I should clarify what I am asking. I have already written my python code to scrape what I need from the plugins sites and works great but at my job they think that its inefficient to send many HTTP GET requests to the site and would prefer that I obtain all the plugin information another way, then simply searching through the results, parse the data that I need. So I can download all the plugins via SVN:

svn co https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/

but I would prefer to just download plugins that are considered popular like what you see from the url:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/browse/popular/

Can I do an svn check of just the popular directory? Ex.

svn co https://popular.plugins.svn.wordpress.org

I know the about url doesnt exist but if it does what is it?

Thank you in advance!

svn::dump::reader

SVN::Dump::Reader(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    SVN::Dump::Reader(3pm)

NAME

       SVN::Dump::Reader - A Subversion dump reader

SYNOPSIS

	   # !!! You should use SVN::Dump, not SVN::Dump::Reader !!!

	   use SVN::Dump::Reader;
	   my $reader = SVN::Dump::Reader->new( $fh );
	   my $record = $reader->read_record();

DESCRIPTION

       The "SVN::Dump::Reader" class implements a reader object for Subversion dumps.

METHODS

       The following methods are available:

       new( $fh, \%options )
	   Create a new "SVN::Dump::Reader" attached to the $fh filehandle.

	   The only supported option is "check_digest", which is disabled by default.

       read_record( )
	   Read and return a new SVN::Dump::Record object from the dump filehandle.

	   If the option "check_digest" is enabled, this method will recompute the digests for a dump without deltas, based on the information in
	   the "Text-content-md5" and "Text-content-sha1" headers (if the corresponding "Digest::" module is available). In case of a mismatch,
	   the routine will "die()" with an exception complaining about a "checksum mismatch".

       read_header_block( )
	   Read and return a new SVN::Dump::Headers object from the dump filehandle.

       read_property_block( )
	   Read and return a new SVN::Dump::Property object from the dump filehandle.

       read_text_block( )
	   Read and return a new SVN::Dump::Text object from the dump filehandle.

       The "read_..." methods will die horribly if asked to read inconsistent data from a stream.
