Advent of Code CLI (WIP)
This is a work in progress
Python based unofficial CLI client for Advent of Code.
Requirements
python >= 3.8
Install
pip install aoc-cli
Login
aoc login
Alternatively
aoc login -u `username` -p `password`
Get
aoc get # for current day's problem
Alternatively
aoc get -y 2022 -d 1 -p 1
There are some convenience tools here:
You can output to a file instead of stdout with the -o flag. Tip: don't specify an output file and aoc-cli will use the default ./problems/{year}/{day}/description.txt for description and ./problems/{year}/{day}/.in for input. By default both are pulled.
Submit
aoc submit -i answer
Alternatively
aoc submit -f path_to_answer_file
Info
In general, for all use cases use --help to print out all options for any subparser
aoc --help
aoc get --help
aoc submit --help
aoc input --help
Currently, only github authentication is implemented - and now so is GitHub 2FA!
See login instructions to store a .cookies file. This will save a session key for Advent of Code, not Github. Even if it is stolen, it should only grant temporary access to you account on AOC. I haven't tested what happens when the session expires - it can most likely be fixed by logging in again.
The cookies are stored as pickle of a requests.Session.cookies object. In theory any login method should work as long as it generates the session cookie as done by a browser.
