Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

You can use the same Authorization strings for several widgets and multiple website.

Just remember to store them in a safe place!

You also need CURL and OPENSSL extensions enabled in your PHP environment (don’t worry, almost every hosting service provides that).
