Package: pycookiecheat-slack
pycookiecheat-slackBorrow cookies from your browser's authenticated session for use in Python
scripts.Note:This project is an unofficial fork ofpycookiecheatthat adds support
for cookies stored by the Slack desktop app (see#39). It has been
published as a separate package (pycookiecheat-slack) on PyPI to allow use
as a dependency. The module nameremainspycookiecheatfor simplicity,
so installing one will overwrite the other.Free software: MITDocumentation:http://n8h.me/HufI1wInstallationNB:Usepipandpythoninstead ofpip3andpython3if you're still
on Python 2 and using pycookiecheat < v0.4.0. pycookiecheat >= v0.4.0 requires
Python 3.5+, and may soon go to 3.6+.python3 -m pip install pycookiecheat-slackInstallation notes regarding alternative keyrings on LinuxSee#12. Chrome is now
using a few different keyrings to store yourChrome Safe Storagepassword,
instead of a hard-coded password. Pycookiecheat doesn't work with most of these
so far, and to be honest my enthusiasm for adding support for ones I don't use
is limited. However, users have contributed code that seems to work with some
of the recent Ubuntu desktops. To get it working, you may have tosudo apt-get install libsecret-1-dev python-gi python3-gi, and if you're installing into a
virtualenv (highly recommended), you need to use the--system-site-packagesflag to get access to the necessary libraries.Alternatively, some users have suggested running Chrome with the--password-store=basicor--use-mock-keychainflags.Development Setupgit clone https://github.com/n8henrie/pycookiecheat.gitcd pycookiecheatpython3 -m venv .venv./.venv/bin/python -m pip install -e .[dev]Usagefrompycookiecheatimportchrome_cookiesimportrequestsurl='http://example.com/fake.html'# Uses Chrome's default cookies filepath by defaultcookies=chrome_cookies(url)r=requests.get(url,cookies=cookies)Use thecookie_filekeyword-argument to specify a different filepath for the
cookies-file:chrome_cookies(url, cookie_file='/abspath/to/cookies')Keep in mind that pycookiecheat defaults to looking for cookies for
Chromium, not Google Chrome, so if you're using the latter, you'll need to
manually specify something like"/home/username/.config/google-chrome/Default/Cookies"as yourcookie_file.FeaturesReturns decrypted cookies from Google Chrome or Slack, on OSX or Linux.Optionally outputs cookies to file (thanks to Muntashir Al-Islam!)FAQ / TroubleshootingHow about Windows?I don't use Windows or have a PC, so I won't be adding support myself. Feel
free to make a PR :)I get an installation error with thecryptographymodule on OS X(pycookiecheat <v0.4.0)If you're gettingthis
errorand using Homebrew, then you need to follow the instructions forBuilding
cryptography on OS

may need to do something likesudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-devprior to installing withpip.How can I use pycookiecheat on KDE-based Linux distros?On KDE, Chrome defaults to using KDE's own keyring, KWallet. For pycookiecheat to support KWallet thedbus-pythonpackage must be installed.How do I install the dev branch with pip?python -m pip install git+https://github.com/n8henrie/pycookiecheat@devBuy Me a Coffee☕️Changelogv0.5.2 :: 20230129Include changelog forgotten in 0.5.1!v0.5.1 :: 20230129Added support for Slack app installed via Mac App Store, as well as direct download.Turns out the App Store app just stores the cookies via a different (sandboxed) path. Otherwise, all remains the same!v0.5.0 :: 20220428Forked to add support for "Slack" alongside existing "Chrome" and "Chromium" options.Seehttps://github.com/n8henrie/pycookiecheat/issues/39for detailsForkby@hraftery.Publishing as separate package (pycookiecheat-slack) on PyPI so it can be used
as a dependency immediately.v0.4.7 :: 20210826No noteworthy API changes, hence the bugfix version bump, but some major
infrastructure and testing updates:Now uses GitHub Actions instead of TravisNow uses Playwright for testing, to actually open a Chromium instance and
use a realCookiesdatabasePEP517blackNow requires python >= 3.7This is largely due to requiremets of Playwright:https://pypi.org/project/playwright/, which is only atestdependencyBecause I can'ttestwith <=3.6, I'm not listing it as compatible,
though itprobablywill still workMigrate to pyproject.tomlv0.4.6 :: 2019111Try to open Chrome database in read-only mode to avoid db locked errors (#29)v0.4.5 :: 20191007db6ac6d Go back to using cryptography due tohttps://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2013-7459/c70ad51 Allow users to override password (thanks @alairock)v0.4.4 :: 20180706Optionally outputs cookies to a file compatible with cURL (thanks to
