About

Collects metadata for Rust crates from the official public crates.io API (crates.io/api/v1/crates/<name>) — one request per crate returns both the crate record and its full version history; no key required, no HTML scraping.

For each crate you get total & recent (90-day) downloads, latest and latest stable versions, license, repository/homepage/docs links, keywords, categories, crate size, Rust edition & minimum Rust version, publisher of the latest version, version count and first/latest release dates. Optionally fetch the daily download series for the last 90 days.

Input

`crates`* array	Crate names as they appear on crates.io, one per line.
`includeDailyDownloads` boolean	Fetch per-day downloads for the last ~90 days (one extra request per crate).(default: false)
`maxRecentVersions` integer	How many of the most recent versions to include per crate.(default: 5)

{
  "crates": [
    "serde",
    "tokio",
    "clap"
  ],
  "includeDailyDownloads": false
}
