Interesting, @EssamWisam. I took a quick look at their documentation and it seems that they use HTTP requests directly instead of using Selenium which should save running time.
However, I think we may still face the same issue of verification when using GitHub actions since the IP address of the machine that's going to run the script will definitely be a new IP address that hasn't been associated with the account before. Have you tried using this package with GitHub actions before? 🤔
Either way, I can take a look at the package and try it out. Decreasing the execution time would still be quite beneficial.

Yes, I thought I mentioned in the original post that I did but it required a little hack. Basically, I ported my local browser cookies into Github and it worked. There is one caveat: if I ever log out from browser then cookies expire but that's easy to handle by simply downloading a new browser lol...
Sorry, seems like I missed that line. 😂 I get what you mean. Downloading any lightweight browser should be quite simple and sufficient. I'll try out the package today or tomorrow insha'allah, and inform you of my findings.
I sincerely thank you in advance for your proactivity.
Problem Statement:
Run script is quite tedious. I tried to do it once and was unhappy with how long it was taking or the warnings being printed. @Iten-No-404 thankfully has invested periodic effort to run the script.
Proposed Solution:
Looking over their docs they have:

I have used this package before in a very different application (e.g., getting comments on a specific post) and with a little hack alhamdulilah was able to make it run via a Github action. I think the package is quite straightforward to use.
If @KnockerPulsar or @Iten-No-404 or someone else has time (i), test these functions to ascertain that this is inshAllah feasible and (ii), write a script using them to replace the current one (the new script inshAllah should be just few lines of code) then I can inshAllah try to do (iii), wrap it in a Github action to make it run periodically.
