crates-io-auth-action

Get a temporary access token to interact with crates.io using trusted publishing.

Usage

This action retrieves a token from crates.io and sets it as an output variable. You can read the token from the action's token output and use it in subsequent steps. The action's post step automatically revokes the token when the job completes.

To learn how to use this action and configure your crates, read the crates.io documentation.

Using a Different Registry URL

If you want to use a different URL than the default https://crates.io, you can specify it in the url input. For example, to use the crates.io staging environment:

- name: Authenticate with custom registry
  id: auth
  uses: rust-lang/crates-io-auth-action@v1
  with:
    url: https://staging.crates.io
