 - When using the CLI for the first time, you'll need to run `spotify_player authenticate` to authenticate the application beforehand.
 - Under the hood, CLI command is handled by sending requests to a `spotify_player` client socket running on port `client_port`, [a general application configuration](https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/blob/master/docs/config.md#general) with a default value of `8080`. If there is no running application's instance, a new client will be created upon handling the CLI commands, which increases the latency of the command.
 
+#### Scripting
+
+The `spotify_player` command-line interface makes scripting easy.
+With the `search` subcommand, you can search Spotify and retrieve data in JSON format, enabling queries with tools like [jq](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/).
+
+Here’s an example of starting playback for the first track from a search query:
+
+```sh
+read -p "Search spotify: " query
+spotify_player playback start track --id $(spotify_player search "$query" | jq '.tracks.[0].id' | xargs)
+```
+
 ## Commands
 
 To go to the shortcut help page, press `?` or `C-h` (default shortcuts for `OpenCommandHelp` command).

+### Client id command
+
+If you prefer not to include your own `client_id` directly in your configuration, you can retrieve it at runtime using the `client_id_command` option.
+
+If specified, `client_id_command` should be an object with two fields `command` and `args`, just like `player_event_hook_command`.
+For example to read your client_id from a file your could use `client_id_command = { command = "cat", args = ["/path/to/file"] }`
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> When passing a path as an argument, always use the full path.
+> The `~` symbol will not automatically expand to your home directory.
+
 ### Device configurations
 
 The configuration options for the [Librespot](https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot) integrated device are specified under the `[device]` section in the `app.toml` file:
