⚠️ <b> Warning: Use Logged-In Scraping at Your Own Risk </b> ⚠️
Using logged-in scraping methods may result in the permanent suspension of your account. Proceed with caution, as violating a platform's terms of service can lead to severe consequences. Exercise discretion and adhere to ethical practices when collecting data through scraping. The library/provider assumes no responsibility for any consequences resulting from the misuse of scraping methods.
