 ## Usage
-To get all tweets by Jason Scott (@textfiles):
+### CLI
+The generic syntax of snscrape's CLI is:
+
+    snscrape [GLOBAL-OPTIONS] SCRAPER-NAME [SCRAPER-OPTIONS] [SCRAPER-ARGUMENTS...]
+
+`snscrape --help` and `snscrape SCRAPER-NAME --help` provide details on the options and arguments. `snscrape --help` also lists all available scrapers.
+
+The default output of the CLI is the URL of each result.
+
+Some noteworthy global options are:
+
+* `--jsonl` to get output as JSONL. This includes all information extracted by snscrape (e.g. message content, datetime, images; details vary by scraper).
+* `--max-results NUMBER` to only return the first `NUMBER` results.
+* `--with-entity` to get an item on the entity being scraped, e.g. the user or channel. This is not supported on all scrapers. (You can use this together with `--max-results 0` to only fetch the entity info.)
