Question thread #122

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

So the simplest way is going to just be to grab a logged in session browser cookie - I believe it's the ljuniq cookie, specifically. Then you can set that in the Requests object and it'll act as a logged in cookie session.

There's a way to auth through the old XML-RPC api but I would have to look it up - you have to pass an MD5-hashed version of your username and API key to a specific endpoint and you get an auth cookie back.
