+# Introduction
+
+flickr-rest is a stab at removing all the stuff that you don't really
+want to do. There are no specific photo methods, community. Nothing.
+
+Simply use it to query the bits you want. 
+If you want a flickr api wrapper, use the flickr gem.
+
+# Usage
+
+  require 'flickr-rest'
+
+# My API key has been set as the default. Flickr probably won't like that.
+
+  Flickr::Query::API_KEY = 'your-api-key-here'
+  flickr = Flickr::Query.new 'your-user-id-here'
+
+  flickr.execute('flickr.test.echo') 
+
+=> #<Hpricot::Doc{} *snip*
+
+Then use simple Hpricot selectors to traverse through the tree.
