Due to renewal of flow.polar.com authentication the login mechanism no longer works #2

Noticed 21.8. that the authentication mechanism has been changed in flow.polar.com to a new authorization code flow system that the scraper can not handle, rendering this package unusable.

Options to go forwards:

  1. Try to rewrite the login to work with the new flow
  2. Rewrite using https://www.polar.com/accesslink-api/#polar-accesslink-api

I am facing the same issue with my script that downloads from flow.polar.com and uploads to velohero.com. Would greatly appreciate if you could keep your progress posted here/somewhere. Within my Master's Thesis I sadly have limited time for hot fixes and would be greatful for an easy solution.

I too was thinking about either reengineering the "auth.polar.com -> flow.polar.com" within python requests or rewriting it from scratch using the polar API.
