Comment:

 The API doesn't send active_installs by default, but you can totally fetch
 that data if you need it. For example, this is what I do in a plugin of
 mine:


 {{{
 require_once ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php';

 $args = array(
         'author'   => $username,
         'per_page' => 10,
         'fields'   => array(
                 'author'          => false,
                 'active_installs' => true,
                 'banners'         => true,
                 'compatibility'   => false,
                 'description'     => false,
                 'downloaded'      => false,
                 'homepage'        => false,
                 'icons'           => true,
                 'last_updated'    => true,
                 'num_ratings'     => false,
                 'ratings'         => false,
         ),
 );

 $data = plugins_api( 'query_plugins', $args );
 }}}

 Works like a charm.
