I need to find out where/how I can access the plugin updates in a WordPress site
Ideally I want to have these in a json format, with the entire list of plugin updates available.
TIA

Plugin update data is cached in the update_plugins site transient with available updates under the response property.
$data = get_site_transient( 'update_plugins' ); var_dump( $data->response ); Response looks a bit like:
array(1) { ["wordpress-seo/wp-seo.php"]=> object(stdClass)#1873 (11) { ["id"]=> string(27) "w.org/plugins/wordpress-seo" ["slug"]=> string(13) "wordpress-seo" ["plugin"]=> string(24) "wordpress-seo/wp-seo.php" ["new_version"]=> string(5) "5.5.1" ["url"]=> string(44) "https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/" ["package"]=> string(62) "https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wordpress-seo.5.5.1.zip" ["icons"]=> array(4) { ["1x"]=> string(66) "https://ps.w.org/wordpress-seo/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=1550389" ["2x"]=> string(66) "https://ps.w.org/wordpress-seo/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1550389" ["svg"]=> string(58) "https://ps.w.org/wordpress-seo/assets/icon.svg?rev=1203032" ["default"]=> string(58) "https://ps.w.org/wordpress-seo/assets/icon.svg?rev=1203032" } ["banners"]=> array(3) { ["2x"]=> string(69) "https://ps.w.org/wordpress-seo/assets/banner-1544x500.png?rev=1695112" ["1x"]=> string(68) "https://ps.w.org/wordpress-seo/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=1695112" ["default"]=> string(69) "https://ps.w.org/wordpress-seo/assets/banner-1544x500.png?rev=1695112" } ["banners_rtl"]=> array(3) { ["2x"]=> string(73) "https://ps.w.org/wordpress-seo/assets/banner-1544x500-rtl.png?rev=1695112" ["1x"]=> string(72) "https://ps.w.org/wordpress-seo/assets/banner-772x250-rtl.png?rev=1695112" ["default"]=> string(73) "https://ps.w.org/wordpress-seo/assets/banner-1544x500-rtl.png?rev=1695112" } ["tested"]=> string(5) "4.8.2" ["compatibility"]=> object(stdClass)#1846 (0) { } } } Data is generated from from the dot-org plugin update check endpoint (some limited documentation) and is fetched in the wp_update_plugins() function.
