-S3 as a connector for federated SQL query across Parquet files stored in S3, or S3-compatible storage solutions (e.g. Minio, Cloudflare R2).
+The S3 Data Connector enables federated SQL query across Parquet files stored in S3, or S3-compatible storage solutions (e.g. MinIO, Cloudflare R2).
 
-## `params`
+Support for Iceberg, CSV, and other file-formats are on the roadmap.
 
-- `endpoint`: The S3 endpoint, or equivalent (e.g. Minio endpoint), for the S3-compatible storage.
-- `region`: Region of the S3 bucket, if region specific.
+If a folder is provided, all child Parquet files will be loaded.
 
-## `auth`
+## Dataset Schema Reference
 
-Check [Secrets Stores](/secret-stores).
+### `from`
 
-Required attributes:
+The S3-compatible URI to a folder or object in form `from: s3://<bucket>/<file>`
 
-- `key`: The access key authorised to access the S3 data (e.g. `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` for AWS)
-- `secret`The secret key authorised to access the S3 data (e.g. `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` for AWS)
+Example: `from: s3://s3-bucket-name/path/to/parquet/cool_dataset.parquet`
 
-## Example
+### `name`
 
-### Minio
+The dataset name.
+
+Example: `name: cool_dataset`
+
+### `params` (optional)
+
+- `endpoint`: The S3 endpoint, or equivalent (e.g. MinIO endpoint), for the S3-compatible storage. E.g. `endpoint: https://my.minio.server`
+- `region`: Region of the S3 bucket, if region specific. E.g. `region: us-east-1`
+
+### `auth` (optional)
+
+Not required for public endpoints.
+
+- `key`: The access key (e.g. `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` for AWS)
+- `secret`The secret key (e.g. `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` for AWS)
+
+For endpoints protected by access keys, `key` and `secret` are required and must be passed using a [Secrets Store](/secret-stores) or via `spice s3 login`. Support for dataset specific authentication is on the roadmap.
+
+Example: `spice login s3 -k AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE -s wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY`
+
+## Examples
+
+### MinIO Example
+
+Create a dataset named `cool_dataset` from a Parquet file stored in MinIO.

-#### S3
+### S3 Authenticated Example
+
+Create a dataset named `cool_dataset` from a protected Parquet file stored in S3.
+
+First, log in using `spice login s3 -k AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE -s wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY` then use the dataset:
 
 ```yaml
 - from: s3://my-startups-data/path/to/parquet/cool_dataset.parquet
   name: cool_dataset
   params:
-    endpoint: http://my-startups-data.s3.amazonaws.com
-    region: 'ap-southeast-2'
+    region: 'us-east-1'
+```
+
+### S3 Public Example
+
+Create a dataset named `taxi_trips` from a public S3 folder.
+
+```yaml
+- from: s3://spiceai-demo-datasets/taxi_trips/2024/
+  name: taxi_trips
