Nice work. A few missing instructions on the readme, to checkout to your branch, database configuration and the environment variables need to be added as well.
Then also add some docstrings to the methods you have created in the code and tests written.

This introduces changes that require re-writing of most of the other PR's. I would recommend that it be merged last.
