You don't have to manually provide cookies in the json file, that file is automatically generated when you login with the appropriate arguments. Le me know if you did everything correctly and are still experiencing issues since I can't reproduce the problem.

The --username and --password arguments are required to generate a new cookie file or when an existing cookie file has expired. You can omit these two arguments if there is a working login cookie file available already.
