+## Prerequisites
+- [.NET 8.0 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0)
+- [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/download/)
+- [start.gg Developer Account](https://developer.start.gg/)
+
+## Installation
+1. Clone the repository:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/KDotIV/Sengoku-API.git
+cd Sengoku-API
+```
+
+2. Restore the .NET packages:
+```bash
+    dotnet restore
+```
+
+## Configuration
+The `appsettings.json` file contains the necessary configuration settings for the API. Here is an example configuration:
+
+```json
+{
+  "Logging": {
+    "LogLevel": {
+      "Default": "Information",
+      "Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"
+    }
+  },
+  "AllowedHosts": "*",
+  "ConnectionStrings": {
+    "AlexandriaConnectionString": ""
+  },
+  "GraphQLSettings": {
+    "Endpoint": "https://api.start.gg/gql/alpha",
+    "Bearer": ""
+  },
+  "ServiceBusSettings": {
+    "AzureWebJobServiceBus": ""
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Database Setup
+The AlexandriaConnectionString is used to connect to your PostgreSQL database. You need to follow the schema provided in the source code to create the necessary tables.
+
+Set up PostgreSQL and create a database.
+Update the AlexandriaConnectionString in appsettings.json with your PostgreSQL connection string.
+Run the database migrations or create the tables manually based on the schema in the source code.
+## GraphQL Setup
+To use the GraphQL functionality, you need to create a developer account on start.gg and obtain an API key.
+
+Sign up or log in to start.gg.
+Create an API key.
+Update the Bearer token in appsettings.json with your start.gg API key.
+
+## Running the API
+Set up the port for SengokuProvider.API.http:
+
+@SengokuProvider.API_HostAddress = https://localhost:5150
+
+GET {{SengokuProvider.API_HostAddress}}/api/core/Pulse
+Accept: application/json
+Run the API:
+
+```bash
+dotnet run --project SengokuProvider.API
+```
+Access the API at https://localhost:5150.
