Crate bench_scraper

Expand description

Bench Scraper is a library for grabbing browser cookies from a filesystem.

Different browsers store their cookies in different locations, with different encryption methods, in different ways across operating system. Bench scraper abstracts this complexity into a few easy-to-use functions.

let browser_cookies = bench_scraper::find_cookies().unwrap();
for browser_cookie in browser_cookies.iter() {
    println!("Cookies for '{:?}'", browser_cookie.browser);
    for cookie in browser_cookie.cookies.iter() {
        println!("    '{:?}'", cookie);
    }
}

Using the reqwest feature, you can turn an iterator of cookies directly into a cookie jar.

let browser_cookie = bench_scraper::find_cookies().unwrap().into_iter().next().unwrap();
let jar: reqwest::cookie::Jar = browser_cookie.cookies.into_iter().collect();

This library attempts to support a wide range of operating systems and browsers, however functionality for certain browsers on certain systems may fail at runtime.
