Crate lychee_lib

lychee is a library for checking links. “Hello world” example:

use lychee_lib::Result;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
  let response = lychee_lib::check("https://github.com/lycheeverse/lychee").await?;
  println!("{}", response);
  Ok(())
}

For more specific use-cases you can build a lychee client yourself, using the ClientBuilder which can be used to configure and run your own link checker and grants full flexibility:

use lychee_lib::{ClientBuilder, Result, Status};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
  let client = ClientBuilder::default().client()?;
  let response = client.check("https://github.com/lycheeverse/lychee").await?;
  assert!(response.status().is_success());
  Ok(())
}
