A Python package that seamlessly transfers a requests.Session to a Selenium WebDriver, maintaining session cookies and proxy settings. Ideal for web scraping and automated browsing with pre-established session states.
requests.Session to a Selenium WebDriver.requests.Session.pip install reqdriver
Import the RequestsDriver class from the reqdriver package:
from reqdriver import RequestsDriver
import requests
Transfer cookies from a requests.Session:
session = requests.Session()
session.cookies.set('test_cookie', '12345', domain='example.com')
req_driver = RequestsDriver(session)
req_driver.set_cookies('http://example.com')
driver = req_driver.get_driver()
driver.get('http://example.com')
Set up a WebDriver with the same proxy settings as your requests.Session:
session = requests.Session()
session.proxies = {
'http': 'http://192.168.3.2:8080'
}
req_driver = RequestsDriver(session)
driver = req_driver.get_driver()
driver.get('http://example.com')
Pass your custom Chrome WebDriver options:
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
custom_options = Options()
custom_options.add_argument('--headless')
session = requests.Session()
req_driver = RequestsDriver(session, custom_options=custom_options)
driver = req_driver.get_driver()
driver.get('http://example.com')
Pass your already created WebDriver instance:
from selenium import webdriver
existing_driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='path_to_chromedriver')
session = requests.Session()
req_driver = RequestsDriver(session, driver=existing_driver)
req_driver.set_cookies('http://example.com')
existing_driver.get('http://example.com')
