GETing posts in categories that are only accessable to certain groups?

[Eyes]

I'm writing a bot that GETs a specific post from a category on my forum, and this category is only accessable by admins. Only problem is, GETting that post always returns a 401 Not Authorized response, because it's not open to users.

I've tried using auth=(username, password), Authorization: Bearer, even sending it in the GET params, but they all just return 401.

Any way of doing this?
