A simple Rust library for retrieving Advent of Code input data. Used by my Advent of Code 2023 solutions.
This library complies with the Advent of Code automation guidelines:
- Input data is cached locally
- An in-memory cache is always used; a persistent file cache is enabled by default (users can also implement their own persistent cache by implementing the
PersistentCacheProvidertrait) - If you suspect the cache is corrupted, request a new copy with
AocClient::get_input_without_cache - The in-memory cache is saved to disk when the
AocClientis dropped
- An in-memory cache is always used; a persistent file cache is enabled by default (users can also implement their own persistent cache by implementing the
- Requests are throttled to 1 every 3 minutes
- If a user requests input that would result in a request being made sooner than 3 minutes after the previous request, the function blocks until 3 minutes has elapsed since the previous request
- When the
AocClientis dropped, the timestamp of the last request is saved to disk and is loaded again when a newAocClientis created
- The user agent is set to
libaoc/<version> (automated; +https://github.com/arthomnix/libaoc; +<contact email>) reqwest/0.11- The contact email has been redacted (and slightly obfuscated in the source) to stop it getting picked up by spambots; it is always the same
