Bot passwords allow access to a user account via the API without using the account's main login credentials. The user rights available when logged in with a bot password may be restricted.

You will need at least those permissions:

• Create, edit, and move pages (High-volume editing 大容量编辑)

After creating the bot, just create a BotToken.txt in the main.py file's same directory.
The BotToken.txt file should be encoded in UTF-8 and like this:

botusername=XXXXX
botpassword=XXXXX

Then you can run the python file.
