Obtaining Authentication Cookies

To use PyTweetToolkit, you'll need to obtain authentication cookies from Twitter's website using your browser's developer tools. Follow these steps to retrieve the required cookies:

1. Login to Twitter: Log in to your Twitter account in your web browser.

2. Open Developer Tools: Once logged in, open the developer tools in your web browser. You can usually access this by right-clicking on the page and selecting "Inspect".

3. Navigate to Application Tab: In the developer tools, navigate to the "Application" or "Storage" tab. This tab contains information about cookies, local storage, and session storage.

4. Find Twitter Cookies: Look for the section that displays cookies. Find the cookies associated with the Twitter website (https://twitter.com). These cookies typically include auth_token and ct0, among others.

5. Locating Cookie Values: Locate the cookies associated with the Twitter website (https://twitter.com). Look for cookies named auth_token and ct0.

6. Extract Cookie Values: Double-click on the value of the auth_token cookie to copy it. Similarly, double-click on the value of the ct0 cookie to copy it as well.

7. Use Cookie Values as Tokens: In your Python script or application, replace YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN with the value copied from the auth_token cookie and YOUR_CSRF_TOKEN with the value copied from the ct0 cookie. These values will serve as your authentication token (auth_token) and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) token (csrf_token), respectively.
