  4. Go to the Network Tab:

    • In the developer tools, go to the "Network" tab. This tab will show all network requests made by the website.

    • Refresh the Advent of Code website. This will trigger various network requests, including the one that authenticates your session.

  6. Look for the Request with the Cookie:

    • Click on this request to view its details.

    • In the details of the network request, look for a section named "Request Headers" or "Cookies." You are interested in the value of the session cookie.

  8. Copy the Session Cookie Value:

    • Copy the value of the session cookie. It is usually a long hex string of letters and numbers.

  9. Use the Session Cookie:

    • Paste the copied session cookie value into the appropriate environment variable (AOC_SESSION_COOKIE in this case) in your code or set it as an environment variable.
