Authentication
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Some videos are subscriber-only and require you to be logged in. To accomplish
|
||||
this 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.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The auth token will be a 30 character long string of random letters and numbers,
|
||||
something like `iduetx4i107rn4b9wrgctf590aiktv`. Then you can pass it to `info`
|
||||
and `download` commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
twitch-dl info 221837124 --auth-token iduetx4i107rn4b9wrgctf590aiktv
|
||||
twitch-dl download 221837124 --auth-token iduetx4i107rn4b9wrgctf590aiktv
|
||||
```

### Downloading subscriber-only VODs
