-## BML API Proxy
+# BML Proxy Docker
 
-BML API Proxy to bypass cloudflare anti-bot.
-# Run with docker
-First run it will compile and run.
-```bash
-docker compose up -d
+On April 1, 2022 BML enabled [Cloudflares Anti-bot](https://www.cloudflare.com/products/bot-management/) features and all the
+ existing scripts to interact with BML API stopped working.
+ This repo contains build files for a [proxy](https://git.shihaam.dev/shihaam/bml-proxy) to bypass anti-bot.
+
+## Codebase repo:
+- [https://git.shihaam.dev/shihaam/bml-proxy](https://git.shihaam.dev/shihaam/bml-proxy)
+
+## Installation
+
+1. [Install docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) `curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo sh`
+2. Give yourself docker group and relogin.
+`sudo usermod -aG docker $USER;sudo su - $USER`
+3. Generate ssh key (if you havent already)
+`ssh-keygen`
+4. [Add your .pub key to my gitea server](https://git.shihaam.dev/user/settings/keys)
+`cat ~/.ssh/id_*.pub`
+5. Clone the repo `git clone git@git.shihaam.dev:shihaam/bml-proxy.git`
+6. Go to cloned dir `cd bml-proxy`
+7. Start the docker container `docker compose up -d`
+
+## How to use
+This docker image exposes a proxied BML API on localhost port 3030. Any and all requests to the BML API should instead be made to this proxy instead.
+
+BML API URL = https://bankofmaldives.com.mv/internetbanking/api/ \
+Docker Image URL = http://localhost:3030/api/
+
+### Best practices on usage:
+It is recommded that you use nginx reverse proxy and cloudflare proxy with this for security and compatability reasons
+1. Install Nginx, Certbot, and Nginx Cerbot plugin `sudo apt install nginx python3-certbot python3-certbot-nginx` \
+example nginx config: place this is in a file at "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled"
+```nginx
+server {
+  server_name SUB.DOMAIN.COM;
+  listen 80;
+  location / {
+    proxy_pass http://localhost:3030;
+  }
+}
+```
+2. Point your sub.doman.com to server IP (its important you disable cloudflare proxy)
+3. Use certbot to get SSL `sudo certbot --nginx -d sub.domain.com`
+4. Enable Cloudflare to fix encoding issue.
+5. Use your programs to request to request to this proxy URL instead of BML URL
+
+#### Example
+You would normally hit the following URL to retrieve today's transactions:
+```
+https://www.bankofmaldives.com.mv/internetbanking/api/account/{BML_ACCOUNT_NUMBER}/history/today
+```
+With this Docker image you will use the following:
+```
+https://sub.domain.com/account/{BML_ACCOUNT_NUMBER}/history/today
 ```
 
-# Test locally
