Cookies

Cookies can be provided to annie with the -c option if they are required for accessing the video.

Note: cookies must match the following format:

name=value; name2=value2; ...

Cookies can be a string or a text file, supply cookies in one of the two following ways.

As a string:

$ annie -c "name=value; name2=value2" https://www.bilibili.com/video/av20203945
