Hi, I fed the script with my key (-s) and the script crashed. am I missing something?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "~/.local/bin/hbd", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(cli())
  File "~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/humblebundle_downloader/cli.py", line 84, in cli

I solved it Here is how: If your cookie string contains a \ eg. "something\something" (witch mine did) then your string must be begin with "\" and end with \"" eg. "\"something\something\"" I hope this helps some people.

this should be in the readme somewhere! Thanks for sharing the explanation :-)

It should be noted that windows batch (or plain windows cmd.exe) escape the " differently, here I had to

--session-auth """whatever I found in my browser"""

so literally three double quotes on each side. The outer ones keep the string together, and the inner pair then is actually an escaped double quote (basically, on windows "" does the same what \" does in most linux shells)
