# gcookie



A tool for getting site cookie from your browser.



> [!note]  

> Chrome above 130 has changed the security of Chrome cookies on Windows, please try running gcookie with administrator privileges.



## 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.



```javascript

const { execSync } = require('child_process');

let site = 'bing.com';

const cookie = execSync(`gcookie ${site}`).toString();

```



```python

from subprocess import check_output

site = 'https://cn.bing.com'

# output of cookies in `cn.bing.com`. not `bing.com`

cookie = check_output(['gcookie', '-c', 'Edge', site]).decode("utf-8")

# example in Scrapy

def get_cookies_dict(cookies):

    if not cookies:

        return {}

    return {c.split('=')[0]: c.split('=')[1] for c in cookies.split('; ')}



class DemoSpider(scrapy.Spider):

    name = 'demo'



    def start_requests(self):

        cookies_dict = get_cookies_dict("your_cookies")

        yield scrapy.Request(

            url,

            headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'},

            cookies=cookies_dict,

            callback=self.parse,

        )

```

> Initially, I was developing this tool without the rookie library, but I have now switched to using it.

assert!(cookie.is_ok());



let site = "https://google.com";
