 ## Getting Started
-
 If you are interested in becoming a developer, see `docs/developers.md`.
 
 To run Mirrulations, you need Python 3.9 or greater ([MacOSX](https://docs.python-guide.org/starting/install3/osx/) or [Windows](https://docs.python-guide.org/starting/install3/win/)) on your machine to run this, as well as [redis](https://redis.io/) if you are running a server
 
-You will also need a valid API key from Regulations.gov to participate. To apply for a key, you must simply [contact the Regulations Help Desk]([email protected]) and provide your name, email address, organization, and intended use of the API. If you are not with any organizations, just say so in your message. They will email you with a key once they've verified you and activated the key.

To apply for a key, you must simply complete the API key request form (https://open.gsa.gov/api/regulationsgov/) and provide your name, email address, organization, and intended use of the API. After review the key will be sent by email.
 
 To download the actual project, you will need to go to our [GitHub page](https://github.com/MoravianUniversity/mirrulations) and [clone](https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository/) the project to your computer.

+## Database Structure 
+
+The Redis database is structured with the following keys: 
+
+regulations_total_comments
+num_dockets_done
+num_documents_done
+num_attachments_done
+last_job_id
+jobs_in_progress
+num_pdf_attachments_done

 ## Job Management
 
 The REDIS database has three "queues", with the names:
 
 `jobs_waiting_queue`, `jobs_in_progress`, and `jobs_done`.
 
-`jobs_waiting_queue` is a list, while 'jobs_in_progress' and 'jobs_done' are hashes.
-Each stores jobs for clients to process.
+The keys serve the following functions: 
+
+jobs_waiting_queue: A list holding JSON strings representing each job.
+
+jobs_in_progress: A hash storing jobs currently being processed.
 
-Keys will be integers, the job ids of the jobs.
-These keys will be mapped to integers, the values to be processed.
+jobs_done: A hash storing completed jobs.
 
-Additionally, the database has an integer value storing the number of clients:
-`total_num_client_ids`.
+The keys client_jobs and total_num_client_ids are used for sotring client information.
+
+client_jobs: A hash mapping job IDs to client IDs.
+
+total_num_client_ids: An integer value storing the number of clients.
