Update Cookies in Session Using python-requests Module

Question

I\'m using python-requests module to handle oAuth request and response. I want to set received access_token (response content as dict) in re

Answer 1

In order to provide a cookie yourself to the requests module you can use the cookies parameter for a single request and give it a cookie jar or dict like object containing the cookie(s).

>>> import requests
>>> requests.get('https://www.example.com', cookies {'cookieKey':'cookieValue'})

But if you want to retain the provided cookie without having to set the cookies parameter everytime, you can use a reqests session which you can also pass to other funtions so they can use and update the same cookies:

>>> session = requests.session()
>>> session.cookies.set('cookieKey', 'cookieName')
# In order to avoid cookie collisions
# and to only send cookies to the domain / path they belong to
# you have to provide these detail via additional parameters
>>> session.cookies.set('cookieKey', 'cookieName', path='/', domain='www.example.com')
