$ npm i ut-auth-utils
import { chromeGUIAuthentication, UTAustinDestinations } from 'ut-auth-utils'
let cookies = await chromeGUIAuthentication(UUTAustinDestinations.UT_DIRECT_URL);
// Now you can use the cookies to make your own API calls.
import fetch from 'node-fetch';
let serialized_cookies = cookies.map(ck=>ck.name+'='+ck.value).join('; ')
let result = await fetch('https://utdirect.utexas.edu/registration/classlist.WBX', { headers: { cookie:serialized_cookies } });
A previous version of this module offered chromeProgrammaticAuthentication for headless, automated login. This has been removed in favor of GUI authentication for improved security and robustness.
To avoid having to enter your credentials every time you perform chromeGUIAuthentication, use the optional cookies parameter to preload cookies from a past, recent session.
