+# Autarco Scaper
+
+Autarco Scraper is a web service that provides a REST API layer over the My
+Autarco site/API to get statistical data of your solar panels.
+
+## Building & running
+
+First you need to provide your My Autarco credentials in the file
+`autarco.toml` by setting the username and password. You can copy and modify `autarco.toml.example` for this:
+
+```toml
+# Put your My Autarco credentials below
+username = "foo@domain.tld"
+password = "secret"
+```
+
+Then, using Cargo, it is easy to build and run Autarco Scraper, just run:
+
+```shell
+$ cargo run --release
+...
+   Compiling autarco-scraper v0.1.1 (/path/to/autarco-scraper)
+    Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 9m 26s
+     Running `/path/to/autarco-scraper/target/release/autarco-scraper`
+```
+
+(Note that Rocket listens on `127.0.0.1:8000` by default for debug builds, i.e.
+builds when you don't add `--release`.)
+
+You can provide Rocket with configuration to use a different address and/or port.
+Just create a `Rocket.toml` file that contains (or copy `Rocket.toml.example`):
+
+```toml
+[default]
+address = "0.0.0.0"
+port = 8080
+```
+
+This will work independent of the type of build. For more about Rocket's
+configuration, see: <https://rocket.rs/v0.5-rc/guide/configuration/>.
+
+## API endpoint
+
+The `/` API endpoint provides the current statistical data of your solar panels
+once it has successfully logged into the My Autarco website using your
+credentials. There is no path and no query parameters, just:
+
+```http
+GET /
+```
+
+### Response
+
+A response uses the JSON format and typically looks like this:
+
+```json
+{"current_w":23, "total_kwh":6159, "last_updated":1661194620}
+```
+
+This contains the current production power (`current_w`) in Watt,
+the total of produced energy since installation (`total_kwh`) in kilowatt-hour
+and the (UNIX) timestamp that indicates when the information was last updated.
