krate 📦

Asynchonously get information and metadata for a Rust Crate published on Crates.io!

krate additionally comes with struct Krate which contains a partially implemented data model for the &Crates.io API/V1 Contract.

NOTE: Currently there is no publically docuemented API contract for the Crates.io API/V1 Contract so any changes or null values passed via the API could break serialization. 🤷‍♂️

Please see the crawler policy on Crates.io if you are planning to use this library to crawl or access the crates data.

Usage

$> cargo add krate

main.rs ```rust use krate::KrateClientBuilder;

[tokio::main]

async fn main() { // Create a KrateClient let client = KrateClientBuilder::new("My User Agent Tool") .build_async() .unwrap();

match client.get_async("serde").await {
    Ok(serde_crate) => {
        println!("Krate: {}", serde_crate.krate.name);
        println!("Latest Version: {}", serde_crate.get_latest());
        println!("Description: {}", serde_crate.krate.description );
    },
    Err(e) => println!("Error: {e}"),
}

} ```

This is a very small implementation! For more robust client see @TheDuke's crates-io-api
