Use the --cred or --login options in order to perform the auth login to Safari. Aborting...

Since a while I get the following error:

[-] Logging into Safari Books Online...
[-] Successfully authenticated.
[*] Retrieving book info...
[#] API: [+] Use the `--cred` or `--login` options in order to perform the auth login to Safari.
[!] Aborting...

It seems that the authentication was successful but the script is complaining anyway about it.
Any suggestions/ideas?

I just got the same error message, but found the problem wasn't this project, but that I did use an invalid book ID. (I thought I have the book id in the clipboard, but instead I had my password in it.)

For me that is not the case.
I had one ID for testing I reuse all the time and that one also stopped working.

@holzkohlengrill What is the id you use for testing?

This part of the code tries to read info from https://learning.oreilly.com/api/v1/book/PUTTHEIDHERE/ Can you access this page?

[holzkohlengrill]

I think I used those books for testing:
https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/terraform-up/9781492046899/
https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/learn-python-3/9780134693866/
