+# Moniker - Active file manipulator
+
+This package contains a standalone script which allows the user to configure 
+different inputs, manipulate the data and send it to an output file. This 
+script can for example help with setting up dynamic files which can be read by 
+OBS.
+
+## Installation
+
+In order to run this script, you need to have Python 2.7 installed the correct
+version can be found here: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.13/python-2.7.13.msi
+To use the script without changing any code, Python should be installed to: 
+`C:\Python27` (the same as for the Streamlabs Chatbot).
+
+If it is installed elsewhere, open the `execute_moniker_background.bat` 
+and `execute_moniker_foreground.bat` files in a text editor and change the 
+location in those files.
+
+Once Python in installed go to 
+(the latest release)[https://github.com/mfrankruijter/Moniker/releases/latest]
+and download the ZIP file by clicking on `Source code (zip)`. Unpack this ZIP 
+file to the desired location.
+
+## Configuration
+The configuration file is located at `config/monikers.json`. 
+
+### inputs
+In the `inputs` node, a moniker key can be connected to a filename. This will 
+swap out the moniker in the output, with the content of the input file.
+The inputs can have an unlimited amount of entries
+
+For example:
+```json
+{
+    "inputs": {
+        "input-file": "example-files\\input-file.txt"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Will create an `{input-file}` moniker, which contains the contents of the file 
+`example-files\input-file.txt`. The input file should always exist. The path 
+can be an absolute path (full path) or a relative path (relative to the root of
+the script).
+
+### fetchInputs
+Inputs can also be configured to listen to an endpoint on the web.
+This can be done through the `fetchInputs` node. An entry in the `fetchInputs` 
+node should have a key which is also present in the `inputs` node. This will 
+become the file where the contents of the web endpoint is being written to.
+
+The fetchInputs can have an unlimited amount of entries as long as their key
+exists in the `inputs` node.
+
+In the following example the contents of the endpoint are being written to 
+`example-files\input-file.txt` and can then be used as a moniker as well:
+```json
+{
+    "fetchInputs": {
+        "input-file": "https://pastebin.com/raw/LfNbBpEm"
+    },
+    "inputs": {
+        "input-file": "example-files\\input-file.txt"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### fetchFrequency
+The `fetchFrequency` can be configured to determine the polling rate of any URL 
+being called. Every increment is one second. So the default of `10` will result 
+in one poll of the endpoint every 10 seconds. This can only be defined once.
+
+```json
+{
+    "fetchFrequency": 10
+}
+```
+
+### outputs
+In the `outputs` node you can configure where the files are being written to and
+how they are contextualized. The initial key `someoutput` (of the example below)
+has no internal value, so it is purely used as a placeholder for organizing the
+configuration.
+
+In the `file` node the output file can be set. This can be an absolute path 
+(full path) or a relative path (relative to the root of the script). The output
+file doesn't have to exist, but the directory should be created before running 
+the script.
+
+The `text` node contains the output that is being transmitted to the output 
+file. The text can be modified with the monikers (from the `inputs`) by adding
+their keys between curly braces. Any combination of monikers can be used in 
+the output. 
+
+The outputs can have an unlimited amount of entries.
+
+```json
+{
+    "outputs": {
+        "someoutput": {
+            "file": "example-files\\output-file.txt",
+            "text": "PulseBear has written {input-file} scripts today"
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Running the script
+
+To run the script in the foreground (seeing a terminal window), double click on
+the `execute_moniker_foreground.bat` file. To run it in the background, use the
+`execute_moniker_background.bat` file.
+
+When the file is running in the background, it is located under the `pythonw.exe` 
+process in the task manager.
+
+If everything is left as is, the code should run as follows:
+- The `input-file.txt` is read.
+- The data from `input-file.txt` is written to `output-file.txt` with an 
+alternated string `PulseBear has written 0 scripts today`
+- After 10 seconds, the `input-file.txt` is updated to `3` and the 
+`output-file.txt` is immediatly updated as well:
+`PulseBear has written 3 scripts today`
