gcookie

An tool for getting site cookie from your browser.

About

When you write a script for scraping some data, you may need the cookie of the site. Instead of copying cookie string from Browser, you can use the std output of this tool.

const { execSync } = require('child_process');
let site = 'bing.com';
const cookie = execSync(`gcookie ${site}`).toString();

from subprocess import check_output
site = 'bing.com'
cookie = check_output(['gcookie', '-c', 'Edge', site]).decode("utf-8")

This package bertrandom/chrome-cookies-secure depends on win-dpapi. win-dpapi based on an older version of node-gyp is diffcult to install on Windows.
