## Instructions on how to get `AOC_SESSION_COOKIE`
1. **Create an Advent of Code Account:**
- If you don't have an Advent of Code account, go to the [Advent of Code website](https://adventofcode.com/), and sign up for an account.
2. **Log into Your AoC Account & open the leaderboard**
- After creating an account, log into the AoC website using your credentials. Make sure you have joined the private leaderboard which's ID you have set in `AOC_LEADERBOARD_CODE`. Now navigate to the leaderboard page.
3. **Open Developer Tools in Your Browser:**
- Open the browser's developer tools. You can usually do this by right-clicking on the web page, selecting "Inspect" or "Inspect Element," and then navigating to the "Network" tab.
4. **Go to the Network Tab:**
- In the developer tools, go to the "Network" tab. This tab will show all network requests made by the website.
5. **Refresh the Page:**
- Refresh the Advent of Code website. This will trigger various network requests, including the one that authenticates your session.
6. **Look for the Request with the Cookie:**
- In the "Network" tab, look for a network request that is related to the Advent of Code website. It might be named something like "session" or "authenticate."
- Click on this request to view its details.
7. **Find the Cookie Information:**
- In the details of the network request, look for a section named "Request Headers" or "Cookies." You are interested in the value of the `session` cookie.
8. **Copy the Session Cookie Value:**
- Copy the value of the `session` cookie. It is usually a long hex string of letters and numbers.
9. **Use the Session Cookie:**
- Paste the copied session cookie value into the appropriate environment variable (`AOC_SESSION_COOKIE` in your case) in your code or set it as an environment variable.
