App/Extension metadata retrieval API

Reported by michal.s...@gmail.com, Apr 13 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/65.0.3325.181 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
It could be useful to be able to access extension's manifest and some other stats like "interactionCount" or "ratingValue". Those are currently available in chrome web store pages as meta tags, but accessing them requires html parsing (too expensive for services like https://shields.io/).

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
No such API exists.

WebStore page: 

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 65.0.3325.181  Channel: stable
OS Version: 
Flash Version:

It seems to be a feature request as per comment #0. Hence, marking it as untriaged for further inputs from dev team.

Thanks...!!
Indeed, it's a "chrome web store" (not "google chrome") feature request. Sorry for not being clear from the beginning.
Thanks for quick feedback :)
