There's alternative if you don't have access to the HttpClient and can't inject the CookieContainer. This works in .NET Core 2.2:

private string GetCookie(HttpResponseMessage message)

    message.Headers.TryGetValues("Set-Cookie", out var setCookie);
    var setCookieString = setCookie.Single();
    var cookieTokens = setCookieString.Split(';');
    var firstCookie = cookieTokens.FirstOrDefault();
    var keyValueTokens = firstCookie.Split('=');
    var valueString = keyValueTokens[1];
    var cookieValue = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(valueString);
    return cookieValue;
}
