 ## How to use
 change the access token with your access token and the sequence ids with the ids of the sequences you want to download
 ```Shell
-python download.py --access_token "MLY|xxxx|xxxxxxx" --sequence_ids xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx
+python download.py "MLY|xxxx|xxxxxxx" --sequence_ids xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx
+```
+
+## Available arguments
+```Shell
+python download.py -h
+usage: download.py [-h] [--sequence_ids [SEQUENCE_IDS ...]] [--image_ids [IMAGE_IDS ...]] [--destination DESTINATION]
+                   [--image_limit IMAGE_LIMIT] [--overwrite]
+                   access_token

+positional arguments:
+  access_token          Your mapillary access token

+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  --sequence_ids [SEQUENCE_IDS ...]
+                        The mapillary sequence id(s) to download
+  --image_ids [IMAGE_IDS ...]
+                        The mapillary image id(s) to get their sequence id(s)
+  --destination DESTINATION
+                        Path destination for the images
+  --image_limit IMAGE_LIMIT
+                        How many images you want to download
