Tiny but virtuous crates.io API client.
The main aim of this library is to provide an easy way to query crates information without bringing in too many dependencies.
It's loosely modeled after the
cratesioapi crate. Main differences
include:
- about 70% cut in the number of dependencies
- no async
- no multi-request client methods like full_crate or
all_crates
- ability to use category and keyword specifiers for querying crates
- ability to convert simple string composite queries such as
api category=web keyword=crates sort=update into valid query objects
Paste the following into your project's Cargo.toml file:
toml
consecrates = "0.1.1"
Create a new client and issue a query:
rust,no_run
let client = Client::new("my_app (github.com/me/me_app)");
let crates = client
.get_crates(Query {
string: Some("net".to_string()),
category: Some(Category::GameDevelopment),
sort: Some(Sorting::RecentUpdates),
..Default::default()
})
.expect("failed getting crates");
println!("{:?}", crates);
Please consult the official crawler policy before using this library. Rate limiting is fixed at the lowest tolerated value. When creating a client you will need to input a proper user-agent string.
