[repo-health] Medium: Crate not published on crates.io — installation instructions and README badges are broken

[Liohtml]

Summary

The crate is not published on crates.io, but the README presents it as an installable library with [dependencies] apify-rust-client = \"0.1\". Both badges link to pages that return 404/error. Any user following the README will fail to install the crate.

Category

README / Documentation

Severity

Medium

Location

• File: README.md — installation section + badge row
• File: Cargo.toml — documentation = "https://docs.rs/apify-rust-client"

Details

Verified via the crates.io API (/api/v1/crates/apify-rust-client) — the crate does not exist on the registry. Consequences:

1. [![crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/...)] badge shows invalid
2. [![docs.rs](https://docs.rs/apify-rust-client/badge.svg)] badge and link 404
3. The [dependencies] apify-rust-client = "0.1" snippet fails — cargo add returns an error
4. Cargo.toml documentation field points to a non-existent docs.rs page

Suggested Fix

Either:

• A (publish): Run cargo publish to push the crate to crates.io, then add a CODEOWNERS / cargo-release workflow.
• B (git dep): Replace the installation snippet with a git dependency until ready to publish:

  [dependencies]
  apify-rust-client = { git = "https://github.com/Liohtml/apify-rust-client" }

  And update or remove the crates.io / docs.rs badges.

Effort Estimate

15 min (update README) or 30 min (publish to crates.io)
