Installation

Configuration

When you first use any function that interfaces with Advent of Code, you will be prompted to enter your session token.

Your session token is stored as a HTTPOnly cookie. This means there is no way of extracting it with JavaScript, you either must use a browser extension such as EditThisCookie, or follow this guide

This token is stored in ~/.config/aoc_helper/token.txt (C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\.config\aoc_helper\token.txt on Windows, probably), and other aoc_helper data is stored in this folder (such as your input and submission caches).

If, for whatever reason, you feel the need to clear your caches, you can do so by deleting the relevant folders in aoc_helper's configuration folder.
