  Maybe someone else will find this useful.

  I was shown a way to get data from the WordPress API without programming.

  The WordPress API exposes a wealth of information in JSON format which is not very readable. However, all you need to do is build the URL for the data you need using the API documentation at:
  https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress.org_API

  then you will get a load of gobbledigook returned – that is JSON…then you can use this tool json-csv.com to turn the rubbish into CSV. CSV is short for comma separated values. You can download that file and then open it in a spreadsheet then wella, all the data can now be arranged how you like within the spreadsheet.

  Hi, you are in the wrong forum.
  This forum is for blogs/sites hosted by WordPress.com

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and different http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  And you should ask in the WordPress.org forum.
