Crates.io Search & Rust Package Scraper ๐ฆ
Search crates.io (the Rust package registry) and get clean, structured JSON for every crate โ downloads, recent downloads, versions, repository and docs links, and a computed activity level (active / slowing / stale / dormant) so you can tell at a glance which crates are still maintained.
Why use it
- ๐ Search by keywords, crates.io keyword tag, or category
- ๐ Download stats โ all-time and recent, plus a recent-download share
- ๐ท๏ธ Versions โ max stable and newest
- ๐ฆ Activity level โ computed from update recency, not just a raw timestamp
- ๐ Links โ repository, homepage, and docs.rs
- โ๏ธ Sort by relevance, downloads, recent downloads, newest, or recently updated
Use cases
- Rust ecosystem research โ find and compare crates in a category
- Dependency selection โ pick the most active, well-adopted crate for a job
- Trend monitoring โ track download growth and new releases
- Datasets โ assemble structured crate data for analysis or tooling

Notes
- Uses the official public crates.io API. Independent tool, not affiliated with crates.io or the Rust Foundation.
- The activity level is a simple heuristic from update recency, included to make filtering easier โ always check the crate directly for critical decisions.
