Being able to read HN without a web browser
SN_AUTH_COOKIE must be set with a valid session cookie.
How do I obtain an SN_AUTH_COOKIE without a browser again?

Okay, fair point :)
This we can maybe do sooner than later :)
But you only have to get it once and then refresh using a specific endpoint.
But yes, with API keys, it's going to be way easier.
I am having this problem with my own bots @hn and @unpaywall.
I'll create a ticket now :) -> here it is

but if I want to be pedantic: I think I'd be able to get an SN_AUTH_COOKIE only with curl ... but as I said, I agree. You have a point there :)
We can make a small bet if you want. I'll bet 5k sats that I can do it, lol.
