Getting Google Bard API KEY

Warning Do not expose the __Secure-1PSID

2. F12 for console
3. Session: Application → Cookies → Copy the value of __Secure-1PSID cookie.

Note that while I referred to __Secure-1PSID value as an API KEY for convenience, it is not an officially provided API KEY. Cookie value subject to frequent changes. Verify the value again if an error occurs. Most errors occur when an invalid cookie value is entered.

Shifting Service Policies: Bard and Google's Dynamics

Bard's service status and Google's API interfaces are in constant flux. The number of replies is currently limited, but certain users, such as those utilizing VPNs or proxy servers, have reported slightly higher message caps. Adaptability is crucial in navigating these dynamic service policies. Please note that the cookie values used in this package are not official API values.
