+# MineTest Python API
+
+This code is dirty for the moment. Experimental purpose only.
+
+## Install
+
+Requires MineTest `blocks` table to be on PostgreSQL.
+
+Requires `python3-psycopg2` (which requires `libpq-dev`):
+
+    sudo apt install libpq-dev
+    sudo pip3 install psycopg2
+
+## Configure
+
+Change `CONFIG_DB_CONNECT` with your PostgreSQL config string, and `CONFIG_LISTEN` with your IP and port. (leave `0.0.0.0` to listen on all addresses)
+
+## Run
+
+    python3 getblocks.py
+
+## Use
+
+Beware of browsers which may replace `>` and `<` by `&lt;` and `&rt;` in url. Use commandline instead:
+
+    curl "http://127.0.0.1:8060/z=0/x>-5/x<5/y>20/y<=30"
+
+Response is a JSON list of the blocks of which position verifies these conditions: a rectangle of 8×9×1 blocks.
+
+    {
+        "blocks": [
+            [x, y, z, data], // data is hexadecimal form of raw binary from MineTest blocks DB
+            ...
+        ]
+    }
