You first need to create an additional Google account and share your location with that account. This platform will use that account to fetch the location of your device(s). You have to setup sharing through the Google Maps app on your mobile phone. You can find more information [here](https://support.google.com/accounts?p=location_sharing).
This platform will create a file named `.google_maps_location_sharing.cookies` where it caches your login session.
This platform will create a file named `.google_maps_location_sharing.cookies` extended with the slugified username where it caches your login session.

Since this platform is using an unofficial API with the help of [locationsharinglib](https://github.com/costastf/locationsharinglib), Google seems to block access to your data the first time you've logged in with this platform.
