How do I load session and cookies from Selenium browser to requests library in Python?

Question

How can I load session and cookies from Selenium browser? The following code:

import requests  cookies = [{u'domain': u'academics.vit.ac.in',             u'name': u'ASPSESSIONIDAEQDTQRB',             u'value': u'ADGIJGJDDGLFIIOCEZJHJCGC',             u'expiry': None, u'path': u'/',             u'secure': True}] response = requests.get(url2, cookies=cookies) 

gives me the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "F:\PYTHON\python_scripts\cookies\cookies3.py", line 23, in <module>     response = requests.get(url2, cookies=cookies)   File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\api.py", line 68, in get     return request('get', url, **kwargs)<br/>   File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\sessions.py", line 450, in request     prep = self.prepare_request(req)     cookies = cookiejar_from_dict(cookies)   File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\cookies.py", line 439, in cookiejar_from_dict     cookiejar.set_cookie(create_cookie(name, cookie_dict[name])) TypeError: list indices must be integers, not dict

First you have to get the cookies from your driver instance:

cookies = driver.get_cookies() 

This returns cookie dictionaries for your session.

Next, set those cookies in requests:

s = requests.Session() for cookie in cookies:     s.cookies.set(cookie['name'], cookie['value'])
