### Downloading subscriber-only VODs
To download sub-only VODs, you need to find your auth token. It can be found
using your browser, in a cookie named `auth_token`.
1. Open twitch.tv in your browser and make sure you're logged in.
2. Open developer tools (F12 shortcut in Firefox and Chrome).
3. Open the `Storage` tab on Firefox, or `Application` tab in Chrome.
4. Click on `Cookies` → `https://www.twitch.tv/` in the sidebar.
5. Find the `auth-token` cookie in the list and copy it's value.
![How to find the auth token in dev tools](./auth_token.png)
The auth token will be a 30 character long string of random letters and numbers,
something like `iduetx4i107rn4b9wrgctf590aiktv`. Then you can pass this to the
download command:
```
twitch-dl download 221837124 --auth-token iduetx4i107rn4b9wrgctf590aiktv
```
