Alternative to mapscookiegettercli? #101

Closed zefoo closed 1 year ago

zefoo commented 1 year ago

Howdy, is there an alternative to https://pypi.org/project/mapscookiegettercli/ ? Since it seems it was archived.

Essentially trying to get a cookie via CLI without having to open browser. :)

I can code something if there isn't an alternative but thought I'd ask just in case. Thank you for this library!

Hi there, happy new year! Not something from me. Google has many different systems around the globe and keeping up with all of them was a very big hustle that was not worth the trouble. I hope there are parts that are useful to you and they help you get started.

I also tested some stuff, but nothing seems to work. @zefoo : Did you find a solution?

Hey guys, I guess we can close this?

zefoo commented 1 year ago

I didn't find anything. I'm having an issue with Google's cookie not persisting. I save the cookie in Firefox, then close the browser (I don't usually use Firefox). It works for a little but eventually stopped (it's done this several times now). My next step was to try to automate something with CLI and/or Selenium to save the cookies but I haven't got around to it (doing some work with a non-profit to help them track folks).

From what I believe @costastf has said before, the cookie should persist and doesn't expire. So it's possible I'm not doing something correctly although I think I am.

@zefoo if you are using the google suite and there are admin settings that might make a cookie expire. If you are on a personal google account they should not expire. Shall we close this issue?

costastf commented 1 year ago

I am closing this as it was mostly informational and there is no progress on it.
