Description

This is a synchronous (blocking) client written purely in Rust, for interfacing with Internet Archive APIs.

Refer to the docs for which APIs are currently supported.

Getting Started

Add the iars crate to your project's Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
iars = "0.1"

Most operations are available via the Item data structure. Here's an example of uploading a file to an Internet Archive "item":

use iars::{Credentials, Item};

fn main() {
    // Authentication keys are required for uploading files.
    let creds = Credentials::new("abcdefghijklmnop", "1234567890123456");
    
    let item = Item::new("test_identifier")
        .with_credentials(Some(creds));
    
    item.upload_file(true, &[("collection", "test_collection")], "a_directory/myfile.txt", "Hello World!".as_bytes()).unwrap();
}

Authentication

Some of the Internet Archive's API queries require authentication using API keys. To get your own API keys, create or log into an account on https://archive.org/. Then go to https://archive.org/account/s3.php.
