What Cookies are?

A cookie is a string stored in our browser (client-side) really useful for many (really many) reasons.

Coming back to the point

There are many reasons why you may need to download cookies from your browser.

1. Install Chrome (or Firefox)

For this guide we will use Chrome (also Firefox is possible). I’m sure that it will be a way to do the same in other browser. But why reinvent the wheel if you just need to download an app?

2. Install browser_cookie3

To download cookies from your chrome browser you’ll need only one package: browser-cookie3.

  • Why is it useful? This means you can use python to download and get the same content you see in the web browser without needing to login.
  • Which browsers are supported? Currently Chrome and Firefox.
  • How are the cookies stored? In a sqlite database in your home directory.

3. Code!

In few lines of code you can download all the cookies you need (from a specified domain) as the following:

  1. For each cookie check if the domain is the one specified (e.g. facebook.com)
  2. If a cookieName is specified as argument return the cookie in the domain with this name as a dictionary structure
  3. If cookie is not found or there are errors within the names (domain or cookieName) returns {}
