+### Wikstraktor Server
+If you want wikstraktor as a server, you need to install [flask](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/installation/), and best practice is to do so in a [virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html#module-venv).
+
+The following commands are extracted from the aforementionned documentation, it is probably more secure to click on the link and follow the modules documentation :
+```bash
+python3 -m venv wikstraktorenv #create wikstraktorenv environment
+. wikstraktorenv/bin/activate #activate environment
+pip install Flask
+```
+
+## Use
+### Wikstraktor
+```python
+from wikstraktor import Wikstraktor
+f = Wikstraktor.get_instance('fr', 'en') #create a wikstraktor,
+    # first parameter is the language of the wiki
+    # second parameter is the language of the word sought for
+f.fetch("blue") #fetch an article
+str(f) #convert content to json
+```
+
+### Wikstraktor Server
+The server runs by default on port 5000, you can change that in the ```wikstraktor_server_config.py``` file.
+```bash
+./wikstraktor_server.py
+```
+Then there is a very simple API :
+```http
+GET server_url/search/<word> #Searches the word in the default wiktionary
+GET server_url/search/<wiktlang>/<wordlang>/<word> #Searches the word In wordlang in the wiktlang wiktionary
+```
+Both API calls return a json object
+
