reqdriver

A Python package that seamlessly transfers a requests.Session to a Selenium WebDriver, maintaining session cookies and proxy settings. Ideal for web scraping and automated browsing with pre-established session states.

Features

• Transfer Session Cookies: Easily transfer cookies from a requests.Session to a Selenium WebDriver.
• Proxy Integration: Set up a Chrome WebDriver with the same proxy settings as your requests.Session.
• Flexible WebDriver Management: Use an existing WebDriver instance or let reqdriver create one for you.
• Custom WebDriver Options: Customize your WebDriver with additional options.

Installation

pip install reqdriver

Usage

Basic Usage

Import the RequestsDriver class from the reqdriver package:

from reqdriver import RequestsDriver
import requests

Transferring Cookies

Transfer cookies from a requests.Session:

session = requests.Session()
session.cookies.set('test_cookie', '12345', domain='example.com')

req_driver = RequestsDriver(session)
req_driver.set_cookies('http://example.com')

driver = req_driver.get_driver()
driver.get('http://example.com')

Setting Proxies

Set up a WebDriver with the same proxy settings as your requests.Session:

session = requests.Session()
session.proxies = {
    'http': 'http://192.168.3.2:8080'
}

req_driver = RequestsDriver(session)
driver = req_driver.get_driver()
driver.get('http://example.com')

Using Custom WebDriver Options

Pass your custom Chrome WebDriver options:

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

custom_options = Options()
custom_options.add_argument('--headless')

session = requests.Session()
req_driver = RequestsDriver(session, custom_options=custom_options)

driver = req_driver.get_driver()
driver.get('http://example.com')

Using Existing WebDriver

Pass your already created WebDriver instance:

from selenium import webdriver

existing_driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='path_to_chromedriver')
session = requests.Session()
req_driver = RequestsDriver(session, driver=existing_driver)

req_driver.set_cookies('http://example.com')
existing_driver.get('http://example.com')
