-### Command Line Interface
+```bash
+# Basic usage - Download subtitles for a video file
+jimaku-dl /path/to/your/anime.mkv
 
-The main entry point for Jimaku Downloader is the `jimaku-dl` command. Here are some examples of how to use it:
+# Download subtitles and play video immediately
+jimaku-dl /path/to/your/anime.mkv --play
 
-```sh
-# Download subtitles for a single video file
-jimaku-dl /path/to/video.mkv
+# Download, play, and synchronize subtitles in background
+jimaku-dl /path/to/your/anime.mkv --play --sync
 
-# Download subtitles for a directory
-jimaku-dl /path/to/anime/directory
+# Download subtitles for all episodes in a directory
+jimaku-dl /path/to/your/anime/season-1/
 
-# Specify a custom destination directory
-jimaku-dl /path/to/video.mkv --dest /custom/path
-
-# Launch MPV with the downloaded subtitles
-jimaku-dl /path/to/video.mkv --play
-
-# Specify an AniList ID directly
-jimaku-dl /path/to/video.mkv --anilist-id 123456
-
-# Set the Jimaku API token
-jimaku-dl /path/to/video.mkv --token your_api_token
-
-# Set the logging level
-jimaku-dl /path/to/video.mkv --log-level DEBUG
+# Specify custom destination directory
+jimaku-dl /path/to/your/anime.mkv --dest-dir /path/to/subtitles
 ```
 
-### Python API
+### API Token
 
-You can also use Jimaku Downloader as a Python library:

-```python
-from jimaku_dl.downloader import JimakuDownloader
+1. Command line option:
 
-downloader = JimakuDownloader(api_token="your_api_token", log_level="INFO")
-downloaded_files = downloader.download_subtitles("/path/to/video.mkv", dest_dir="/custom/path", play=True)
-print(f"Downloaded files: {downloaded_files}")
+   ```bash
+   jimaku-dl /path/to/anime.mkv --token YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
+   ```
+
+2. Environment variable:
+   ```bash
+   export JIMAKU_API_TOKEN="your-token-here"
+   jimaku-dl /path/to/anime.mkv
+   ```
+
