 1. Set up database file with `python init_db.py`.

 You can use screen to detach the session.

     - Example `waitress` and `screen` scripts are included, see

 3. Access the API from whatever other system you want.
 
 ## Endpoints:
--`/packets` - gives the most recent packets, with the fields from the Dire Wolf
-User Guide.
+-`/packets` - gives the most recent packets, sorted descending by time received.
+    - argument `n` will return a specific number of packets, default 10. E.g.,
+    `https://digi.w1cdn.net/aprs_api/packets?n=1` returns one packet.
+    - argument `from` will return packets from the named station-SSID (no wildcards).
+    E.g., `https://digi.w1cdn.net/aprs_api/packets?n=1&from=W1CDN-1` returns
+    one packet from W1CDN-1.
