sbstck-dl's Issues

Unable to use --sid option

Thank you for creating sbstck-dl. I'm trying to download a private post that I've subscribed to so I can read it on my ereader. Below is the general command that I've used.

$ sbstck-dl download --sid xxxxxx....xxxx --url https://my-substack-url

The command completes without error, however it only downloads the abbreviated public version. I suspect that I'm using an incorrect cookie string from my browser session. Could you provide some pointers or guidance on how to locate the correct cookie? Also, is it possible to add an error message to the sbstck-dl utility to notify the user if the cookie was unable to be used successfully?

Thanks!

Ability to download paid posts too

Hi,
Is there any possibility to include the option to download posts behind a pay-wall? Let me explain myself, I have paid for access to a private substack and I would like to download the posts for offline use and would love if the program could authenticate itself using my account and then download all the posts just as it would do if they were public instead of private.
