A: No. The scraper runs entirely autonomously without requiring you to share cookies or log in.

Q: How do I find the Twitter/X Community ID?

A: Open the desired community in your browser. Look at the URL address bar; it will look like https://x.com/i/communities/1699807431709041070. The series of numbers at the end (1699807431709041070) is the Community ID. Copy and paste only that number into the communityId field.
