Note: The bot will stop when the process is terminated. To deploy the bot, see DEPLOY.md

You will need to authenticate everytime you start the bot unless you store a session file. You can store the session locally by creating a .env file and setting a environment variable WW_SESSION to the session string printed in the terminal.

If you are deploying the bot to Heroku, you can store the session object as WW_SESSION to Heroku configs to skip authentication. Read more in DEPLOY.md
