 # adacam-api
 
-Clean Python Flask replacement for odc-api (Hivemapper Bee liberation)
\ No newline at end of file
+Clean Python Flask replacement for Hivemapper's `odc-api` — a 434k-line Node.js monolith with a filed CVE. This service runs on the **Hivemapper Bee (HDC-S)** dashcam as part of the **adacam** liberation stack.
+
+## What it does
+
+- Serves API endpoints for the Varroa Android app and adamaps-forwarder
+- Reads GPS data from Redis (`GNSSFusion30Hz`)
+- Stores landmark detections in SQLite
+- Forwards detections to AdaMaps API (with offline queuing)
+
+## Endpoints
+
+| Method | Path | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| GET | `/api/1/landmarks/last/{N}` | Last N detections |
+| POST | `/api/1/landmarks` | Ingest new detection |
+| GET | `/api/1/gnssConcise/latestValid` | Current GPS fix |
+| GET | `/api/1/status` | Device status |
+| GET | `/api/1/deviceinfo` | Device identity |
+| GET | `/api/1/recording/frames/latest` | Latest frame path |
+
+**Note:** `/api/1/cmd` is intentionally NOT implemented — that was the CVE.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+./install.sh
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Copy files to `/opt/adacam/`
+2. Install Python dependencies
+3. Enable and start the systemd service
+4. Generate a device ID on first run
+
+## Configuration
+
+Config file: `/data/adacam/config.json`
+
+```json
+{
+  "device_id": "auto-generated UUID",
+  "adamaps_key": "adamaps-ingest-2026",
+  "adamaps_api": "https://api.adamaps.org",
+  "ap_interface": "wlp1s0f0",
+  "tunnel_host": "",
+  "tunnel_user": "",
+  "tunnel_port": 2222
+}
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.8+
+- Redis (for GPS/IMU data)
+- Flask, redis-py, requests
+
