title: How can I use the Envato Market API to export a list of WordPress plugins?
body: <p>I'd like to use the <a href="https://build.envato.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Envato API</a> to download a list of plugins for WordPress available on <a href="http://www.codecanyon.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Code Canyon</a>. However I have been unable to find a way to do so.</p>
  
  <p>For example, I tried to use a get /search/item per their <a href="https://build.envato.com/api/#search_GET_search_item_json" rel="nofollow noreferrer">documentation</a> using the parameter category and setting it to "wordpress" however this returned a number of results but nowhere near the 6,040 the site says it has.</p>
  
  <p>The document also mentions the "category code" is what I should be entering as the parameter for "category" but it never defines the category code - unfortunately, this seems common throughout the documentation - there isn't any definition. Another example of this is calling get /catalog/collection. The parameter required is "id" which it describes as "The numeric ID of the collection to return" - but what numeric ID? This one wasn't hard to figure out, if you open a collection the url looks like:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://codecanyon.net/collections/4945814-about" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://codecanyon.net/collections/4945814-about</a></p>
  
  <p>And the numeric portion is the ID...but I sure could wish for more definitions or examples of what the parameters should look like. :-)</p>
  
  <p>I looked around, but didn't find anything helpful on the web nor does there appear to be a forum hosted by Envato for discussing the API.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated!</p>
