 ```julia
 # DarkSky.jl is not currently registered as an official package
 # Please install the development version from GitHub:
-Pkg.clone("git://github.com:ellisvalentiner/DarkSky.jl.git")
+Pkg.clone("git://github.com/ellisvalentiner/DarkSky.jl.git")
 ```
 
 DarkSky.jl expects your API key to be stored as an environment variable named `DARKSKY_API_KEY`.
 
 ## Usage
 
+The basic usage is to request the current weather forecast (a [Forecast Request](https://darksky.net/dev/docs#forecast-request)) or the observed or forecast weather conditions for a datetime in the past or future (a [Time Machine Request](https://darksky.net/dev/docs#time-machine-request)).
+
 ```julia
 using DarkSky
 # Make a "Forecast Request", returns the current weather forecast for the next week.
-forecast(42.3601, -71.0589)
+response = forecast(42.3601, -71.0589);
 # Make a "Time Machine Request", returns the observed or forecast weather conditions for a date in
 # the past or future.
-forecast(42.3601, -71.0589, DateTime(2018, 3, 7, 14, 19, 57))
+response = forecast(42.3601, -71.0589, DateTime(2018, 3, 7, 14, 19, 57));
 ```
 
+The Dark Sky response contains the following properties (and can be accessed by functions with the same name):
+
+* `latitude` - The requested latitude.
+* `longitude` - The requested longitude.
+* `timezone` - The IANA timezone name for the requested location.
+* `currently` - A data point containing the current weather conditions at the requested location. (optional)
+* `minutely` - A data block containing the weather conditions minute-by-minute for the next hour. (optional)
+* `hourly` - A data block containing the weather conditions hour-by-hour for the next two days. (optional)
+* `daily` - A data block containing the weather conditions day-by-day for the next week. (optional)
+* `alerts` - An alerts array, which, if present, contains any severe weather alerts pertinent to the requested location. (optional)
+* `flags` - A flags object containing miscellaneous metadata about the request. (optional)
+
+```julia
+# Extract the requested latitude
+latitude(response)
+# Extract the "daily" data block
+daily(response)
+# Extract the "alerts" data block
+alerts(response)
+```
+
+Note that optional properties may not contain data (e.g. there may be no alerts).
