Plugin Resource

A Plugin is a resource that contains information about a given plugin, like its name, description, and the account that owns the plugin.

While the Plugin Version Resource contains information on the actual source code for a deployed Plugin, the Plugin Resource serves as an identifier for the Plugin itself. For example, you might have a CRM plugin. You can use the Plugin Resource to describe the plugin itself, and then a series of Plugin Versions to reference the source code of your various iterations of the Plugin.
