Description

Purpose of this issue to discuss a possible solution to reducing the number of restAPI call for EDD.

Currently, each site does separate API call for each add-on.

We get API calls for:

1. license check
2. get version ( done by EDD auto update )
3. refresh license (as per my idea)
   this will allow the user to manually refresh the license instead of waiting for a weekly cron job.
4. Activate add-on
5. deactivate the add-on
   6 subscription check

Possible Solution

we can reduce the number of API calls by merging them into one API query.
For example:

1. only weekly bulk license check + get the version
2. refresh license ( allow on two requests per day after that it will lock itself). WordPress also provides Check Now button under Dashboard > Updates

By this way, we will get only on API call weekly from any website and three on a rare day when user will use a manual refresh functionality.
