 pyPostcode
 ==========
 
-Python wrapper for the API of postcodeapi.nu
+##Introduction
+
+This is a Python library to request information from the PostcodeApi.nu API.
+This API allows you to search for Dutch addresses using zipcodes.
+
+For more information about this API, please visit http://postcodeapi.nu
+
+
+##Installation
+
+###Manually
+
+pyPostcode consists of a single file (pyPostcode.py) that you can put in your python search path or in site-packages (or dist-packages depending on the platform)
+You can also simply run it by putting it in the same directory as you main script file or start a python interpreter in the same directory.
+pyPostcode works with Python 2.7.x (you're welcome to test other versions)
+
+###API-key
+
+The API can only be used when you have your own API-key.
+You can request this key by visiting: http://www.postcodeapi.nu/#request
+
+
+##Example
+
+###Basic usage
+
+Get the address by using the zipcode and the house number
+
+```python
+#!/usr/bin/python
+
+from pyPostcode import pyPostcodeApi
+
+postcodeapi = pyPostcodeApi('{YOUR_API_KEY}') # Set your own API-key
+result = postcodeapi.getaddress('1011AC', 154) # use address search
+print result.street, result.house_number, result.town
+```
+
+###Result data
+
+the following information can be gathered from the result:
+
+* street
+* house_number
+* postcode
+* town
+* municipality
+* province
+* latitude
+* longitude
+* x ([Rijksdriehoek]/[Trigonometrical] coordinate)
+* y ([Rijksdriehoek]/[Trigonometrical] coordinate)
+
+##License
