Am I able to "tap into" Google Chrome's Downloads page through an extension/add-on? I want to write an extension that needs the file names (or paths) of all the files that are currently being downloaded by the user. Will this possible? What APIs should I be looking at? It is quite tricky to search for this and I don't know where to begin.

A:
No I can not find a Google Chrome API that will allow you to see the files that are currently being downloaded.
There are a number of experimental APIs, that alow deep integration with the browser here bt none that provide the information you require:

Not right now, but it is on their plate in the near future.
