## What it is
Octocrab is a modern, extensible GitHub API client library for Rust. It offers a strongly typed semantic API covering most GitHub endpoints plus a lower-level HTTP API for extending behavior, including GitHub App authentication support.

## Use cases
- build a GitHub bot in Rust
- query GitHub issues and pull requests programmatically
- authenticate as a GitHub App and call the API
- search repositories and users via the GitHub API
- automate GitHub Actions workflows from code
- call GitHub's GraphQL API from Rust

## When to choose
- you need typed Rust bindings for most GitHub REST endpoints
- you're building GitHub integrations, bots, or automation in Rust
- you need GitHub App auth and rate-limit handling out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need a GitHub client in another language like JavaScript or Python
- you only need simple git operations rather than the GitHub API
- you need a CLI tool rather than a library

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: http-client, api-framework, auth, rate-limiting, sdk
- domain: apis, developer-tools, version-control
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: github-api, github-apps, rest-client, graphql, async, octokit, automation
