🎅🎄 Client for Advent of Code 🎄🎅

Crate to interact with the yearly challenges at Advent of Code. It functions as both a Rust library and an standalone CLI client.

Installation

Install with:

cargo install advent-of-code-client

It should now be accessable as aoc.

Authentication

To authorize against the Advent of Code site, the CLI expects AOC_TOKEN to be set in your environment with a valid session token, or manually provided with the --token flag.

After authenticating on the website, your session token can be found through the following steps (might vary a bit based on your browser):

• Go to adventofcode.com and login
• Open the developer settings in your browser (F12)
• Go to application -> Cookies.
• You should see a session variable - this is the token we need.
• Add this to your environment with export AOC_TOKEN=<your token>

CLI usage

To submit a solution for a given year and day:

aoc 2023 1 -a <your answer>

Use -a to submit an answer for part A, -b for part B.
