Thanks man EXCELLENT tut, subscribed! Just a suggestion: please make text size of your code editor slightly bigger so it is easier to view on mobile as well, thanks. Please continue creating advanced Selenium python tutorials. :)
Great stuff. Thanks for the tutorial. A neat and tidy explanation and at a nice pace to follow along while I try to implement it. Your work is appreciated :)
please help me! when i used the code from github or when i typed the exact code from youtube i get the error text "selenium.common.exceptions.InvalidCookieDomainException: Message: invalid cookie domain"
Followed your video, but I received this error: ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 61] Connection refused. The error came, when i tried to save_cookie. How can i fix this error? The cookie wall i am trying to bypass is just two buttons , accept or dont accept , and therefore no login.
Dear, Thank you for your content. I'm just wondering if you can make a quick video to explain how can we connect to an existing chrome using selenium ? I mean use a specific profil in chrome with selenium instead of open a new chrome without session when you launch it. I saw many different thing on slack but most of code is java and isn't works. I really appreciate if you can do a video about this. Thank you.
you mention that you have some code that checks the health of the driver and if it detects the driver is in a bad state it kills it and restarts the driver. What is that script or where can i learn more about that?
That code is not available and I can't share it as its being used in a proprietary software. But you can create your own logic based on the conditions you define that will flag the driver to be in "bad state" and recovering it as easy as killing it completely and then creating a new instance and if you require, you can load the cookies as well.
This code works great for facebook, yahoo email, etc. But I work with this site, that requires an Email Security Verification code (meaning I enter the email and password for the account, but they send me a verification code via email, that needs to be inserted) and this cookies method doesn't seem to work. Can you suggest me a way to manipulate cookies in my case? Regardless, great video.
The idea of cookies is to save your current session and be able to restore it later. Sessions, however, do expire. Some expire in a day some expire in 5 min of inactivity (banking sites) and you can't restore an expired session with cookies, it will ask you to auth again. So you need to figure out how to create a new session in case the one you are using no longer valid.
No. Website needs to create a session to authenticate you without you having to login again. To create a session, you first need to login. Cookie carries your session information which allows the website backend to tell if your session and valid/active.
Hello, can someone help me please, I dont know how to solve this problem and where is the solution, When I loading cookies by FOR on the first circle he is stopping and saying "nvalidCookieDomainException: Message: invalid cookie domain: Cookie 'domain' mismatch".
Hey, great video! I have one problem. When I load the page after I've already saved the cookies, it is still asking for credentials. What am I doing wrong? Please help!
First step is to check if indeed the cookies are being loaded by printing the content of the cookies and seeing what domains are there and if your domain is there. If the cookies are loading, check with your site admin to see what they are using to tell if a user has active or expired session and how/when they are redirecting to the login screen.
Thanks a lot man, this works great as hell though I didn't understand why whould I need the "delete_cookies" method, I didn't hear the whole video since I'm the kind of person that can't handle too much noise coming from a mouth.
Great tutorial! However, I encountered an issue. I've followed the procedure exactly but am getting this message in cookies.txt : "File was loaded in the wrong encoding: windows-1254" I have tried changing the file encoding (in Pycharm) however it either continues to display that message or the program isn't able to bypass the cookie popup.
You should be able to iterate over the cookie object and see which domains you have cookies stored for, then use that domain to load the cookie. If there are any third party cookies, they all will be part of the cookie object.
Hey, excellent tutorial! It works on Twitter.com. However, when i tried to do it on web.whatsapp.com, it didn't work. Basically it is not able to save the cookies in the cookies.txt file when i run your python function. Any idea on why it doesn't save? & any idea on solution for it? Thanks.

So you need to figure out how to create a new session in case the one you are using no longer valid.
Is it possible to login to automate this with the cookie value only and without the need to login in the first place?
No. Website needs to create a session to authenticate you without you having to login again. To create a session, you first need to login. Cookie carries your session information which allows the website backend to tell if your session and valid/active.

how can i get cookies
big thanks
excellent, thx
You are welcome!
How can u load cookies from www.hackerrank.com when u are on google.com
I have an error.
Cookies may only be set for the current domains
Go to hackerrank and then load cookies for hackerrank, after that you can navigate where you need to, your cookies will remain.
hello , Artur Spirin

how to login google by cookie?

Is there a way to store third party cookies as well?
You should be able to iterate over the cookie object and see which domains you have cookies stored for, then use that domain to load the cookie. If there are any third party cookies, they all will be part of the cookie object.
Artur Spirin thanks, will try that.

Hey, did you manage to solve that error? im getting the same problem
@@miguellopes5108 Yeah i realized the solution was to use a saved browser session instead of saving cookies. So try that instead.
