npm install xactions -- all functions from src/scrapers/index.js.
import { createBrowser, createPage, loginWithCookie, scrapeProfile } from 'xactions';
const browser = await createBrowser();
const page = await createPage(browser);
await loginWithCookie(page, AUTH_TOKEN);
const profile = await scrapeProfile(page, 'nichxbt');
await browser.close();
