+# API-Call Documentation
+## Introduction
+As many of us know YSFReflectors use the YSF protocol to communicate with endpoints. These original commands are well 
+documented at http://ycs-wiki.xreflector.net/doku.php?id=start:protocols:ysf  thanks to the YCS-team for hosting them.
+pYSFReflector has also an extended set of commands you can use for fetching information on the state of different things 
+when running the reflector.
+
+This document will show the commands, and the replies expected from the reflector.
+
+## How To Issue A Call
+First it is very easy to have a command sent to a reflector. Simply use a command similar to this:
+
+`echo -n "YSFS" | nc -u 127.0.0.1 42000 -w 2 && echo`
+
+or in a more general form:
+
+`echo -n "<COMMAND>" | nc -u <IP-ADDRESS_OF_REFLECTOR> <PORT_OF_REFLECTOR> -w 2 && echo`
+
+This line will send the chosen command to the reflector and prints out its reply.
+
+## List Of Extended API-Commands
+Here we will not describe the standard-commands in the YSF protocol, but the extended command set by the pYSFReflector.
+
+The format of the answer will be the corresponding answer-code, and some values separated by `:` for each object in scope. 
+Several objects are separated by `;`.
