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!

svnpath
SVNPATH(1) SVNPATH(1)
NAME
svnpath - output svn url with support for tags and branches
SYNOPSIS
svnpath
svnpath tags
svnpath branches
svnpath trunk
DESCRIPTION
svnpath is intended to be run in a Subversion working copy.
In its simplest usage, svnpath with no parameters outputs the svn url for the repository associated with the working copy.
If a parameter is given, svnpath attempts to instead output the url that would be used for the tags, branches, or trunk. This will only
work if it's run in the top-level directory that is subject to tagging or branching.
For example, if you want to tag what's checked into Subversion as version 1.0, you could use a command like this:
svn cp $(svnpath) $(svnpath tags)/1.0
That's much easier than using svn info to look up the repository url and manually modifying it to derive the url to use for the tag, and
typing in something like this:
svn cp svn+ssh://my.server.example/svn/project/trunk svn+ssh://my.server.example/svn/project/tags/1.0
svnpath uses a simple heuristic to convert between the trunk, tags, and branches paths. It replaces the first occurrence of trunk, tags, or
branches with the name of what you're looking for. This will work ok for most typical Subversion repository layouts.
If you have an atypical layout and it does not work, you can add a ~/.svnpath file. This file is perl code, which can modify the path in
$url. For example, the author uses this file:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# svnpath personal override file
# For d-i I sometimes work from a full d-i tree branch. Remove that from
# the path to get regular tags or branches directories.
$url=~s!d-i/(rc|beta)[0-9]+/!!;
$url=~s!d-i/sarge/!!;
