+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/checkout@v4
+  with:
+    path: scancode-inputs
+- uses: nexB/scancode-action@alpha
+  with:
+    pipelines: "scan_codebase"
+    output-formats: "json xlsx spdx cyclonedx"
+```
+
+### Inputs
+
+```yaml
+- uses: nexB/scancode-action@alpha
+  with:
+    # Names of the pipelines (comma-separated) and in order.
+    # Default is 'scan_codebase'
+    pipelines:
+
+    # The list of output formats to generate.
+    # Default is 'json xlsx spdx cyclonedx'
+    output-formats:
+      
+    # Relative path within the $GITHUB_WORKSPACE for pipeline inputs.
+    # Default is 'scancode-inputs'
+    inputs-path:
+
+    # Name of the project.
+    # Default is 'scancode-action'
+    project-name:
+
+    # Python version that will be installed to run ScanCode.io
+    # Default is '3.11'
+    python-version:
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Scan repo codebase
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/checkout@v4
+  with:
+    path: scancode-inputs
+- uses: nexB/scancode-action@alpha
+```
+
+### Run a specific pipeline
+
+[Built-in pipelines list](https://scancodeio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/built-in-pipelines.html)
+
+```yaml
+- uses: nexB/scancode-action@alpha
+  with:
+    pipelines: "scan_codebase"
+```
+
+### Run multiple pipelines
+
+```yaml
+- uses: nexB/scancode-action@alpha
+  with:
+    pipelines: "scan_codebase,find_vulnerabilities"
+  env:
+    VULNERABLECODE_URL: https://public.vulnerablecode.io/
+```
+
+#### Configuring `find_vulnerabilities` Pipeline
+
+The `find_vulnerabilities` pipeline requires access to a VulnerableCode instance, 
+which can be defined using the `VULNERABLECODE_URL` environment variable.
+
+In the example provided, a public instance is referenced. 
+However, you also have the option to run your own VulnerableCode instance. 
+For details on setting up and configuring your own instance, please refer to the 
+[VulnerableCode documentation](https://vulnerablecode.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html).
+
+### Choose the output formats
+
+```yaml
+- uses: nexB/scancode-action@alpha
+  with:
+    output-formats: "json xlsx spdx cyclonedx"
+```
+
+### Fetch pipelines inputs
+
+```yaml
+- name: Download repository archive to scancode-inputs/ directory
+  run: |
+    wget --directory-prefix=scancode-inputs https://github.com/${GITHUB_REPOSITORY}/archive/${GITHUB_REF}.zip
+- uses: nexB/scancode-action@alpha
+  with:
+    pipelines: "scan_single_package"
+```
+
+### Define a custom project name
+
+```yaml
+- uses: nexB/scancode-action@alpha
+  with:
+    project-name: "my-project-name"
+```
+
+## Where are the Scan Results?
+
+Upon completion of the workflow, you can **find the scan results** in the dedicated 
+**artifacts section** at the bottom of the workflow summary page. 
+Look for a file named `scanpipe-outputs` in that section. 
+This file contains the outputs generated by the `scancode-action`.
