How requests view cookies and send cookies

 

 

If a response contains some cookies, you can quickly access them:

>>> url = 'http://example.com/some/cookie/setting/url'
>>> r = requests.get(url)

>>> r.cookies['example_cookie_name'] 'example_cookie_value' 

To send your cookies to the server, use the cookies parameter:

>>> url = 'http://httpbin.org/cookies'
>>> cookies = dict(cookies_are='working')

>>> r = requests.get(url, cookies=cookies) >>> r.text '{"cookies": {"cookies_are": "working"}}' 

The returned object of Cookie is  RequestsCookieJar , which behaves like a dictionary, but with a more complete interface, suitable for cross-domain and cross-path use. You can also pass the Cookie Jar to Requests:

>>> jar = requests.cookies.RequestsCookieJar()
>>> jar.set('tasty_cookie', 'yum', domain='httpbin.org', path='/cookies') >>> jar.set('gross_cookie', 'blech', domain='httpbin.org', path='/elsewhere') >>> url = 'http://httpbin.org/cookies' >>> r = requests.get(url, cookies=jar) >>> r.text '{"cookies": {"tasty_cookie": "yum"}}'
