+Basic API Example
+====
+
+This example demonstrates how to utilize DiscordGo to connect to Discord 
+and print out all received chat messages.  
+
+This example uses the low-level REST API functions to connect to Discord.
+
+### Build
+
+This assumes you already have a working Go environment setup and that 
+DiscordGo is correctly installed on your system.
+
+```sh
+go build
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+You must authenticate using either an Authentication Token or both Email and 
+Password for an account.  Keep in mind official Bot accounts only support
+authenticating via Token.
+
+```
