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 and in general will aim to support python versions that are stable and
not yet end-of-life: https://devguide.python.org/versions.
python3 -m pip install pycookiecheatSee #12. Chrome is now
using a few different keyrings to store your Chrome Safe Storage password,
instead of a hard-coded password. Pycookiecheat doesn't work with most of these
so far, and to be honest my enthusiasm for adding support for ones I don't use
is limited. However, users have contributed code that seems to work with some
of the recent Ubuntu desktops. To get it working, you may have to sudo apt-get install libsecret-1-dev python-gi python3-gi, and if you're installing into a
virtualenv (highly recommended), you need to use the --system-site-packages
flag to get access to the necessary libraries.
Alternatively, some users have suggested running Chrome with the
--password-store=basic or --use-mock-keychain flags.
git clone https://github.com/n8henrie/pycookiecheat.gitcd pycookiecheatpython3 -m venv .venv./.venv/bin/python -m pip install -e .[dev]After installation, the CLI tool can be run as a python module python -m or
with a standalone console script:
$ python -m pycookiecheat --help
usage: pycookiecheat [-h] [-b BROWSER] [-o OUTPUT_FILE] [-v] [-c COOKIE_FILE]
[-V]
url
Copy cookies from Chrome or Firefox and output as json
positional arguments:
url
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-b BROWSER, --browser BROWSER
-o OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file OUTPUT_FILE
Output to this file in netscape cookie file format
-v, --verbose Increase logging verbosity (may repeat), default is
`logging.ERROR`
-c COOKIE_FILE, --cookie-file COOKIE_FILE
Cookie file
-V, --version show program's version number and exit
By default it prints the cookies to stdout as JSON but can also output a file in Netscape Cookie File Format.
from pycookiecheat import BrowserType, get_cookies
import requests
url = 'https://n8henrie.com'
# Uses Chrome's default cookies filepath by default
cookies = get_cookies(url)
r = requests.get(url, cookies=cookies)
# Using an alternate browser
cookies = get_cookies(url, browser=BrowserType.CHROMIUM)
Use the cookie_file keyword-argument to specify a different path to the file
containing your cookies:
get_cookies(url, cookie_file='/abspath/to/cookies')
You may be able to retrieve cookies for alternative Chromium-based browsers by
manually specifying something like
"/home/username/.config/BrowserName/Default/Cookies" as your cookie_file.
I don't use Windows or have a PC, so I won't be adding support myself. Feel free to make a PR :)
cryptography module on OS X(pycookiecheat <v0.4.0)
If you're getting this
error
and using Homebrew, then you need to follow the instructions for Building
cryptography on OS
X
and export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib" CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include" and try again.
cryptography module on LinuxPlease check the official cryptography docs. On some systems (e.g. Ubuntu), you
may need to do something like sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev prior to installing with pip.
On KDE, Chrome defaults to using KDE's own keyring, KWallet. For pycookiecheat to support KWallet the dbus-python package must be installed.
