Description
To better implement a crates.io feature to show a button linking to the playground to try a crate, we'd like to have a public API available from the playground of what the top 100 are.
We're interested in the ones that are actually in the top 100, not those that are included by virtue of being dependencies of the top 100. I don't know if the full list would be useful to anyone else; if it is, I could see that being a query parameter or a separate API route or similar.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked crates.io PR and the Rust Playground API surface to determine how a public route should expose availability. Done means agreeing on an API shape and returning the top 100 crates that are directly included, excluding crates present only as dependencies.
