To send cookies to the server, you need to add the "Cookie: name=value" header to your request. To send multiple Cookies in one cookie header, you can separate them with semicolons. In this Send Cookies example, we are sending HTTP cookies to the ReqBin echo URL.
To send a POST request using the Python Requests Library, you should call the requests. post() method and pass the target URL as the first parameter and the POST data with the data= parameter.
The latest release of Requests will build CookieJars for you from simple dictionaries.
import requests
cookies = {'enwiki_session': '17ab96bd8ffbe8ca58a78657a918558'}
r = requests.post('http://wikipedia.org', cookies=cookies)
Enjoy :)
Just to extend on the previous answer, if you are linking two requests together and want to send the cookies returned from the first one to the second one (for example, maintaining a session alive across requests) you can do:
import requests
r1 = requests.post('http://www.yourapp.com/login')
r2 = requests.post('http://www.yourapp.com/somepage',cookies=r1.cookies)
