Cookie Editor Chrome Extension vs Puppeteer Cookies
Closed
Hi, I am currently working on using the post scraper programmatically in nodejs. In order to get cookie data, I am using Puppeteer to login into Linkedin and save my cookie data that is later converted into JSON. When I use that cookie data in my input, I am met with the following error:
"There was an uncaught exception during the run of the Actor and it was not handled."
However, when I use the Cookie Editor manually it works fine. When comparing both cookie outputs. I notice slight differences. Is there a specific format that the cookies need to be in in order for this to work?
Yes there are some differences in cookie format between puppeteer and cookie-editor extension. For example, field name should be renamed to key when converting from puppeteer cookie.
You can compare a sample cookie and make necessary changes

Hi, I have worked to re-format what i am getting from Puppeteer and I am very stuck. I am getting the following error:

Based on the following cookie format:
[ { "key": "__cf_bm", "value": "...", "domain": ".linkedin.com", "path": "/", "expires": 1730487049.232516, "secure": true, "httpOnly": true
1}, 2{ 3 "key": "lidc", 4 "value": "...",
... [trimmed]
Sorry, it was my mistake, My previous advice was wrong.
Actual mistake is you've passed the cookies as array of stringified json cookies.
You should not stringify the individual cookie object inside arrays. Instead pass the cookie array as object of arrays and stringify the entire input the actor as JSON

Can I just ask, how does this work?
Is this dynamically updating the Cookies every day? Therefore does this avoid the Cookie issue?
It doesn't update the cookies by itself.
Follow these steps to get the cookies:
- Install Cookie-Editor chrome extension
- Login to your facebook account
- Click on the extension and export the cookies
- Paste the copied cookies into input
