Apologies for newbie issue.

I'm trying to download a ton of old photographs from Shutterfly before they get permanently deleted. And like many other users, gave up on the ludicrous web UI to download them. So I was hoping this Python script would do what I need.

Never having rummaged under the hood of web/javascript applications before, I'm struggling to follow your instructions to get the 'ShrAuth' token.

Using Chrome, I loaded Shutterfly album, and then went to inspect/network, and examined 'authorize' XHR exchanges. Then going to "Request Headers", there is an enormous entry in "Cookie" section, with tons of different fields.

None of them are labeled "ShrAuth", so I don't know if I'm inspecting the wrong cookie, or if this is just shorthand for an entry that would be obvious to someone familiar with HTTPS authentication.

I'm nervous to paste the entire cookie contents here, as it seems to contain all sorts of private information. But the part I'm examining looks something like this:

Cookie: principal_identifier_cookie=-6666666; at_check=true; AMCVS_XXXXX%40AdobeOrg=1; s_ecid=MCMID%6666666; s_cc=true; ...

Do you think you could elaborate a little more on how to extract the authorization token?
