Selenium: Why my get_cookies() method returned a list in Python?

Question

Below is my script:

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

driver.get(\"http://www.google.com\")

all_cookies = dr         


        

Answer 1

since you asked for all cookies with driver.get_cookies() it returns a list of dictionaries with (key, value) pair for each cookie stored. If, instead you are interested in a specific cookie identified with a name name you can request for that specific cookie by name with driver.get_cookie(name) which Returns the cookie if found, None if not.

i.e.

driver.get_cookies() #returns list of cookie dictionaries
driver.get_cookie(name) # returns a cookie dictionary of specified cookie
