+#### Getting Twitter Cookies
+It is important that you use Twitter cookies so that you don't send a new login request to twitter every time you want to do something.
+
+In your application, you will probably want to have a check for cookies. If you don't have cookies, log in with user auth credentials. Then, cache the cookies for future use.
+```ts
+    const scraper = await getScraper({ authMethod: 'password' });
+
+    scraper.getCookies().then((cookies) => {
+      console.log(cookies);
+      // Remove 'Cookies' and save the cookies as a JSON array
+    });
