+# Backend API
+```
+# SUITS API Documentation
+
+This API provides access to JSON data for various resources including rocks, teams, and telemetry details. The API is built with FastAPI and runs locally on `http://localhost:8000`.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before you can run the API, ensure you have the following installed:
+- Python 3.8+
+- FastAPI
+- Uvicorn
+- httpx
+
+You can install the necessary libraries with pip:
+
+```bash
+pip install fastapi uvicorn httpx
+```
+
+## Running the API
+
+To start the API server, use the following command in the directory containing your FastAPI application:
+
+```bash
+uvicorn main:app --reload
+```
+
+This command will start the server on `http://127.0.0.1:8000` and will automatically reload the server upon any file changes.
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+Here are some of the available endpoints:
+
+- `/json_data/{filename}`: General endpoint for fetching JSON data such as `COMM.json`, `DCU.json`, etc.
+- `/json_data/rocks/RockData.json`: Fetches detailed rock data.
+- `/json_data/teams/{team_number}/{filename}`: Fetches team-specific data.
+
+## Requesting Data from Unity C#
+
+To request data from the API in a Unity C# application, you can use the `UnityWebRequest` class. Here's an example of how to fetch data from the rocks endpoint:
+
+```csharp
+using System.Collections;
+using UnityEngine;
+using UnityEngine.Networking;
+
+public class DataLoader : MonoBehaviour
+{
+    private void Start()
+    {
+        StartCoroutine(GetRockData());
+    }
+
+    IEnumerator GetRockData()
+    {
+        string uri = "http://localhost:8000/json_data/rocks/RockData.json";
+        using (UnityWebRequest webRequest = UnityWebRequest.Get(uri))
+        {
+            // Request and wait for the desired page.
+            yield return webRequest.SendWebRequest();
+
+            if (webRequest.result != UnityWebRequest.Result.Success)
+            {
+                Debug.Log("Error: " + webRequest.error);
+            }
+            else
+            {
+                Debug.Log("Received: " + webRequest.downloadHandler.text);
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Requesting Data from ReactJS
+
+For ReactJS applications, you can use the Fetch API to request data from the API. Here is an example of how to fetch team data in ReactJS:
+
+```javascript
+import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
+
+function TeamData() {
+    const [teamData, setTeamData] = useState(null);
+
+    useEffect(() => {
+        const fetchData = async () => {
+            const response = await fetch('http://localhost:8000/json_data/teams/1/Completed_EVA.json');
+            const data = await response.json();
+            setTeamData(data);
+        };
+
+        fetchData();
+    }, []);
+
+    return (
+        <div>
+            <h1>Team Data</h1>
+            {teamData && <pre>{JSON.stringify(teamData, null, 2)}</pre>}
+        </div>
+    );
+}
+
+export default TeamData;
+```
+
+This script makes a GET request to the API and displays the JSON data on the page.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This API provides a straightforward method for accessing JSON data for various use cases in development. By following the above instructions, you can integrate this API into Unity C# projects or ReactJS applications.
