使用 python 请求打开多个选项卡同时维护 session cookies

Question

I am attempting to use requests to obtain information from a website. The problem is that this website requires a homepage to open in one tab, while the information you need is open in another. If I close that homepage, the page I need no longer keeps my login session. How could I imitate having two tabs open to prevent this issue. Example:

session = requests.Session()

payload = {'username':'username_here','password':'password_here'}

webSession = session.post("http://website.com/login", data=payload)
webSession2 = session.get("https://website.com/home/home-page")
webSession3 = session.get("https://website.com/Reports/1234")

webSession returns <Response [200]>

webSession2 also returns <Response [200]>, implying my login was successful.

webSession3 returns <Response [401]>, implying I'm no longer logged in.

How can I get webSession3 to return the information I want?

Answer 1

You're already creating a Session object. Use it to get cookies after your first request (probably homepage in your case).

cookies = session.cookies.get_dict()

Now pass cookies in your subsequent request(s):

response = session.post("https://website.com/Reports/1234", cookies=cookies)
