 ## Assignment
 The objective of this challenge is to create a REST API application that the user can use to track the value of stocks in the stock market. The base application presented here uses a simple implementation of [Slim Framework](https://www.slimframework.com/docs/v3/)
 
-You may use the [Stooq](https://stooq.com/q/l/?s={stock_code}&f=sd2t2ohlcvn&h&e=csv) API service.

 ## Mandatory Features
 - The application must use a SQL database to store users and record logs of past requests. Check out the Slim documentation if you would like to use [Eloquent](https://www.slimframework.com/docs/v3/cookbook/database-eloquent.html), [Doctrine](https://www.slimframework.com/docs/v3/cookbook/database-doctrine.html) or [Atlas](https://www.slimframework.com/docs/v3/cookbook/database-atlas.html).

 ## Considerations
  - Focus only on the backend. We will not review any frontend functionality for this project.
  - Provide any and all information our evaluators may need. Use seeders instead of SQL dumps if we need any predetermined database information.
- - Provide a detailed Readme with instructions on how to install, use, etc.

+## Base project
+You can find some bootstrap for the challenge with some endpoints, basic setup, and tests. This project uses composer as a package manager, so in order to run the project for the first time you need to follow these next steps:
+
+- Run `composer install`, this will install dependencies
+- Copy the `.env.sample` file into `.env` and modify its contents to match your current settings.
+- Run `composer start` and you should be able to check the project running on `http://localhost:8080`
+
+Optional:
+- Run `composer test` to see the test suite result
