Authentification

Booru

For booru authentification, you'll need your user id and your password hash
To get it, I advise you to go on an image, open the developer panel (F12) and go in "Network"
Then press the button to add the image to your favorite and look at the "Cookies" section of the last request Authentification

Pixiv

For Pixiv authentification, please use LoginAsync with a refresh token
To get your refresh token, you can follow this tutorial: https://gist.github.com/ZipFile/c9ebedb224406f4f11845ab700124362
