+# Manual Instrumentation for OkHttp3 version 3.0.0+
+
+Provides OpenTelemetry instrumentation for [okhttp3](https://square.github.io/okhttp/).
+
+## Quickstart
+
+### Add these dependencies to your project:
+
+Replace `OPENTELEMETRY_VERSION` with the latest stable
+[release](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.opentelemetry). `Minimum version: 1.5.0`
+
+For Maven, add to your `pom.xml` dependencies:
+
+```xml
+
+<dependencies>
+  <dependency>
+    <groupId>io.opentelemetry.instrumentation</groupId>
+    <artifactId>opentelemetry-okhttp-3.0</artifactId>
+    <version>OPENTELEMETRY_VERSION</version>
+  </dependency>
+</dependencies>
+```
+
+For Gradle, add to your dependencies:
+
+```groovy
+implementation("io.opentelemetry.instrumentation:opentelemetry-okhttp-3.0:OPENTELEMETRY_VERSION")
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+The instrumentation library provides an OkHttp `Call.Factory` implementation that wraps
+an instance of the `OkHttpClient` to provide OpenTelemetry-based spans and context
+propagation.
+
+```java
+import io.opentelemetry.api.OpenTelemetry;
+import io.opentelemetry.instrumentation.okhttp.v3_0.OkHttpTracing;
+import okhttp3.Call;
+import okhttp3.OkHttpClient;
+
+import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
+
+public class OkHttpConfiguration {
+
+  //Use this Call.Factory implementation for making standard http client calls.
+  public Call.Factory createTracedClient(OpenTelemetry openTelemetry) {
+    return OkHttpTracing.newBuilder(openTelemetry).build().newCallFactory(createClient());
+  }
+
+  //your configuration of the OkHttpClient goes here:
+  private OkHttpClient createClient() {
+    return new OkHttpClient.Builder().build();
+  }
+}
+```
