hypixel-api-rust

This is a Rust implementation of the Hypixel API.

Hypixel's Public API imposes a default limit of 120 requests/minute. This crate offers a wrapper around this dynamic limit that's fully asynchronous and can query any data type that implements DeserializeOwned from serde.

Getting started

As explained in the Hypixel Public API, an ApiKey is required to query most of the endpoints in the API.

The heart of this crate is the RequestHandler.
Internally, it keeps track of how many requests the program has sent in the past minute, keeps an overflow of requests pending when necessary and always stays synchronized with the internal clock of the Hypixel REST API.

A response from the API can be deserialized into any data structure that implements DeserializeOwned by serde.

Basic example

use hypixel_api::RequestHandler;
use hypixel_api::StatusReply;

let api_key = Uuid::from_str("your-api-key").unwrap(); // get your ApiKey
let request_handler = RequestHandler::new(api_key); // initialize a new RequestHandler

let response = request_handler.request::<StatusReply>("status?uuid=069a79f4-44e9-4726-a5be-fca90e38aaf5", true); // query the status of Notch
// send more requests ...

let data: StatusReply = response.await.unwrap().unwrap();
// use data ...

Any Result::Ok response by this crate will guarantee to be a 200 OK response from the API and thus by consequence guarantee to be deserializable into a corresponding data struct.

Currently, many example response data structures are unimplemented. This does not impact this crate's ability to still query that data. Simply define your own data structure and use it with RequestHandler like usual. You could even replace all pre-made data structures and go fully custom.

See the documentation for more examples.

Features

• util - enables the utility functions to process data returned by the Hypixel Public API
• reply - (depends on util) - enables ready-to-use data structures as responses from the Hypixel Public API
