Browser Cookie
==============
The **browsercookie** module loads cookies used by your web browser
into a cookiejar object. This can be useful if you want to use python to
download the same content you see in the web browser without needing to
login.
Install
-------
.. sourcecode:: bash
pip install browsercookie
On Windows the builtin sqlite module will raise an error when loading
the FireFox database. An updated version of sqlite can be installed with:
.. sourcecode:: bash
pip install pysqlite
Usage
-----
Here is a hack to extract the title from a webpage:
.. sourcecode:: python
>>> import re
>>> get_title = lambda html: re.findall('<title>(.*?)</title>', html, flags=re.DOTALL)[0].strip()
And here is the webpage title when downloaded normally:
.. sourcecode:: python
>>> import urllib2
>>> url = 'https://bitbucket.org/'
>>> public_html = urllib2.urlopen(url).read()
>>> get_title(public_html)
'Git and Mercurial code management for teams'
Now let's try with **browsercookie** - make sure you are logged into
Bitbucket in Firefox before trying this example:
.. sourcecode:: python
>>> import browsercookie
>>> cj = browsercookie.firefox()
>>> opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))
>>> login_html = opener.open(url).read()
>>> get_title(login_html)
'richardpenman / home — Bitbucket'
Differences with Python3:
.. sourcecode:: python
>>> import urllib.request
>>> public_html = urllib.request.urlopen(url).read()
>>> opener = urllib.request.build_opener(urllib.request.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))
You should see your own username here, meaning the module successfully
loaded the cookies from Firefox.
Here is an alternative example with
`requests <http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/>`__, this time
loading the Chrome cookies. Again make sure you are logged into
Bitbucket in Chrome before running this:
.. sourcecode:: python
>>> import requests
>>> cj = browsercookie.chrome()
>>> r = requests.get(url, cookies=cj)
>>> get_title(r.content)
'richardpenman / home — Bitbucket'
Alternatively if you don't know/care which browser has the cookies you
want then all available browser cookies can be loaded:
.. sourcecode:: python
>>> cj = browsercookie.load()
>>> r = requests.get(url, cookies=cj)
>>> get_title(r.content)
'richardpenman / home — Bitbucket'
Contribute
----------
So far the following platforms are supported:
- **Chrome:** Linux, OSX, Windows
- **Firefox:** Linux, OSX, Windows
However I only tested on a single version of each browser and so am not
sure if the cookie sqlite format changes location or format in
earlier/later versions. If you experience a problem please `open an
issue <https://bitbucket.org/richardpenman/browsercookie/issues/new>`__
which includes details of the browser version and operating system. Also
patches to support other browsers are very welcome, particularly for
Internet Explorer on Windows.
