How do I load session and cookies from Selenium browser to requests library in Python?

Question

How can I load session and cookies from Selenium browser? The following code:

import requests

cookies = [{u\'domain\': u\'academics.vit.ac.in\',
                    


        

Answer 1

First you have to get the cookies from your driver instance:

cookies = driver.get_cookies()

This returns cookie dictionaries for your session.

Next, set those cookies in requests:

s = requests.Session()
for cookie in cookies:
    s.cookies.set(cookie['name'], cookie['value'])
