Context
I noticed when running in --debug
mode that the browser will re-direct to https://twitter.com/i/flow/login until the user logs in. Not sure what to do about this...
Possibilities
- Implement some sort of login mechanism
- cookies?
- complicated
- unclear how to implement—unsure if able to log in with just API credentials to browser...
- make scraper provide username/password information?
- simplest, but most insecure
- cookies?
