Sending google chrome cookies directly to python get requests works perfectly fine using the approach below,
import requests
import browsercookie
data = requests.get(url, cookies=browsercookie.chrome())
But for a very specific use-case, I need to store google chrome cookies in a file and use them (in future) while making a python get request to call as stated above,
I am storing google chrome cookies in a text file as shown below,
import browsercookie
import pickle
pickle.dump(browsercookie.chrome()._cookies, open("cookies.pkl","wb"))
But I think there is some cookie format issue in the loaded cookies from "cookies.pkl" -- AND THIS DOES NOT WORK...
import requests
import browsercookie
import pickle
cj = pickle.load(open("imdb_cookies.pkl", "rb"))
data = requests.get(url, cookies=cj)
Error --
Error: expected string or bytes-like object
I think the cookie dictionary loaded from "cookies.pkl" needs to be converted to ""...
I tried researching a lot but could not find a solution.
If there is any other way where cookies can be stored to files and used in the future, please do let me know...
I followed a different approach and it worked. Instead of using pickle. I used a google chrome extension called cookie.txt. Used that extension to store cookies in cookie.txt. Then used the cookie.txt in the following way with python requests,
import http.cookiejar as cookielib
cj = cookielib.MozillaCookieJar('cookies.txt')
cj.load()
data = requests.get(url, cookies=cj)
