+## Package Conversion API Overview
+The Package Conversion API functions is a web-based service designed to facilitate the conversion of package measurements as per user specifications. It offers endpoints specifically for converting measurements and accessing conversion records.
+
+## Features
+- **Seamless Handling of Sequence Input:** Capable of processing sequences comprising characters and underscores, facilitating smooth conversion.
+- **Optimized Conversion Algorithms:** Incorporates streamlined algorithms for the swift transformation of input sequences into lists of measurements.
+- **Transparent and Flexible:** Exhibits clarity in design and is easily customizable, allowing for seamless integration of supplementary features.
+
+## Installation
+Clone the repository:
+```
+git clone https://github.com/aljab017/PackageMeasurementConversionAPI.git
+```
+
+## Install dependencies:
+```
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Usage
+- Start the server:  
+```python main.py```
+- Convert measurement:  
+```GET http://127.0.0.1:8080/convert_measurements?input_str=INPUT STRING HERE``` 
+- Get conversion history   
+```GET http://127.0.0.1:8080/get_history``` 
+## Testing
+
+- To run tests:   
+``` python -m unittest .\models\tests\measurement_converter_tests.py                            ```
