A Python library (fork of browsercookie) that loads cookies from installed web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and others into a cookiejar object. It lets Python scripts reuse browser login sessions with urllib or requests, and also offers a small command-line interface.

Use cases

  • download web pages with my logged-in browser session from python
  • reuse chrome cookies in a requests script
  • scrape a site without logging in programmatically
  • extract cookies from firefox sqlite database
  • load all browser cookies into a cookiejar
  • filter cookies by domain for an http request
  • export browser cookies from the command line

When to choose

  • you want Python scripts to authenticate using cookies already stored in a local browser
  • you need to support many browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Brave, Opera, etc.)
  • you want a quick pip-installable library plus a CLI for cookie extraction

When to avoid

  • you need to manage or create cookies server-side rather than read local browser stores
  • your target environment has no user browser installed (e.g., headless servers, CI)
  • decrypting local browser cookie stores raises privacy or compliance concerns for your use case
