rating counts do not include post-webstore-upgrade ratings about myextensions

[hansifer]

I meant to add: the current "detail" call does carry the correct total rating count (old web store + new)

I've created a patch which takes all the current details from https://chrome.google.com/webstore/ajax/detail instead of scraping the details page, so the version is available again.

I see that this response also contains the number of ratings and average rating which can be accessed in getMeta with my changes using response[1][0][22] and response[1][0][12] respectively.

I agree that the rating breakdown is a nice feature and that that information does not exist in this response. However, I see no evidence that this API is being deprecated and/or removed. What gave you that idea?

Part of my changes is renaming "comment" to "review" but I didn't change anything to do with the API as I better get back to doing my actual job ;P

Once the old web store inevitably becomes inaccessible, there's no reason for Google to keep these calls around. They're not part of any official API, as far as I am aware. Based on that, my thinking is that it's safer to assume they will be deprecated rather than not.

I realize that's a moot point for ratings breakdown since there's currently no alternative, but porting ave rating and rating count is probably a good idea. Otherwise, MyExtensions is just perpetually reporting the static Oct 25 snapshot of these values.

Thanks for your contributions to this extension. I love its utility and use it every day, so your work thus far is much appreciated.

Cheers,
Hans

I've made an attempt to update the ratings in #13. Hopefully, this will resolve this problem and this can be closed.
