How

Install Python3 dependency browser-cookie3:

e.g.,

python3.11 -m pip install browser-cookie3

Import browser_cookies3 dependency, and read cookies for a domain:

import browser_cookie3

cookies = browser_cookie3.chrome(domain_name='google.com')

Notice that cookies are sometimes associated with different paths, you may need cookies for the sub-domains as well, in which case, you may will just call browser_cookie3.chrome(...) multiple times.

e.g.,

cookies = browser_cookie3.chrome(domain_name='xxx.google.com')

The most useful fields are name and value, we can iterate the cookies and use them in requests:

import browser_cookie3

joined = []
for c in browser_cookie3.chrome(domain_name='google.com'):
    joined.append(f"{c.name}={c.value}")
cookie = "; ".join(joined)

res = requests.get("https://www.google.com", headers={ 'cookie': cookie })
print(res.code)
print(res.text)

If you run the Python script, and the OS asks for password, it’s okay, becuase cookies are sensitive data stored in place protected by the OS.
