1. Setup, install Selenium/ChromeDriver

pip install selenium
# download chromedriver from https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=91.0.4472.101/
# eg: wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/91.0.4472.101/chromedriver_mac64.zip && unzip chromedriver_mac64.zip

2. unzip chromedriver (due to Gatekeeper, run it if you use MacOS):

+
|-> pixiv_auth.py
\-> chromedriver      <- place to here

3. Run the command:

python pixiv_auth.py login

This will open the browser with Pixiv login page.

If you did everything right and Pixiv did not change their auth flow, pair of auth_token and refresh_token should be displayed.

After entering the password, wait for a while, chrome will disappear, and the following information will be output in the console window:

❯ python3 pixiv_auth.py login

python pixiv_auth.py refresh OLD_REFRESH_TOKEN
