chrome-cookies-secure-fork v1.1.5
chrome-cookies-secure
Extract encrypted Google Chrome cookies for a url on Mac OS X or Linux
Installation
npm install chrome-cookies-secureAPI
getCookies(url,format,callback)
url should be a fully qualified url, e.g. http://www.example.com/path/
format is optional and can be one of the following values:
| format | description |
|---|---|
| curl | Netscape HTTP Cookie File contents usable by curl and wget |
| jar | cookie jar compatible with request |
| set-cookie | Array of Set-Cookie header values |
| header | cookie header string, similar to what a browser would send |
| object | (default) Object where key is the cookie name and value is the cookie value. These are written in order so it's possible that duplicate cookie names will be overriden by later values |
If format is not specified, object will be used as the format by default.
Cookie order tries to follow RFC 6265 - Section 5.4, step 2 as best as possible.
Examples
basic usage
var chrome = require('chrome-cookies-secure');
chrome.getCookies('http://www.example.com/path/', function(err, cookies) {
console.log(cookies);
});jar used with request
var request = require('request');
var chrome = require('chrome-cookies-secure');
chrome.getCookies('http://www.example.com/', 'jar', function(err, jar) {
request({url: 'http://www.example.com/', jar: jar}, function (err, response, body) {
console.log(body);
});
});Limitations
On OS X, this module requires Keychain Access to read the Google Chrome encryption key. The first time you use it, it will popup this dialog:
The SQLite database that Google Chrome stores its cookies is only persisted to every 30 seconds or so, so this can explain while you'll see a delay between which cookies your browser has access to and this module.
