pycookiecheat 0.4.2

Installation

NB: Use pip and python instead of pip3 and python3 if you’re still on Python 2 and using pycookiecheat < v0.4.0. pycookiecheat >= v0.4.0 requires Python 3.5+, and may soon go to 3.6+.

• pip3 install pycookiecheat

Usage

from pycookiecheat import chrome_cookies
import requests

url = 'http://example.com/fake.html'

# Uses Chrome's default cookies filepath by default
cookies = chrome_cookies(url)
r = requests.get(url, cookies=cookies)

Use the cookie_file keyword-argument to specify a different filepath for the cookies-file: chrome_cookies(url, cookie_file='/abspath/to/cookies')

Keep in mind that pycookiecheat defaults to looking for cookies for Chromium, not Google Chrome, so if you’re using the latter, you’ll need to manually specify something like "/home/username/.config/google-chrome/Default/Cookies" as your cookie_file.

Features

• Returns decrypted cookies from Google Chrome on OSX or Linux.
