## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need per-version daily download statistics for a Rust crate hosted on crates.io, especially for trend monitoring, popularity analysis, or version adoption tracking. Prefer this over manual crates.io scraping or the full crates.io API when you need a lightweight paid lookup with JSON output.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid 'crate' query parameter — returns error
- crates.io upstream API unavailable — service returns 5xx error
- Typo in crate name yields no data
