crates.io Versions API

info:
  title: crates.io Sparse Index Config Versions API
  description: 'The crates.io sparse index serves per-crate metadata files over HTTP rather than requiring a clone of the legacy crates.io-index Git repository. Cargo uses the sparse protocol by default since Rust 1.70 (June 2023). The index also publishes a config.json document at the root and supports HTTP cache validation via ETag and Last-Modified.
