Finding your Session Cookie

Some commands might require an authenticated connection with AoC servers to work. To do so, a Session Cookie is required.

Finding your Session Cookie as is easy as:

1. Open a tab at https://adventofcode.com/ and login;
2. Open DevTools from your browser (Usually just press F12)
3. In the Network tab, find and click in a request to adventofcode.com. If it's not there, try reloading the page.
4. The Session Cookie is located in the Request Headers section in the Cookie information;
5. Copy the cookie and create the AOC_SESSION_COOKIE environment variable for your shell;

export AOC_SESSION_COOKIE="<my_current_cookie>"

6. Happy solving! 🎅🎄❄️☃️🎁🦌
