A Rust program that performs web scraping of cryptocurrency pages using the request 0.6.2 crate for HTTP and Select 0.4.0 for HTML querying. It implements two functions: one that fetches live coinmarketcap.com pages and another that parses a local crix HTML file, extracting name and price fields across a configurable number of rows and printing the results to the console; the demo runs on Rust ~1.18.
