get-local-cookie

A simple CLI and library to fetch cookies for a given URL from local browsers (Chrome, Edge, etc.). Includes npx usage for quick one-off runs.

Requirements

• Node >=24 (for node:sqlite) or Bun (for bun:sqlite)
• Local usage only: this reads from your machine’s browser profiles.

Use

Recommended: npx (no global install needed)

npx @kuizuo/get-cookie <url> --browser chrome --format header

Examples:

# Get cookies for github.com (default: Chrome, JSON)
npx @kuizuo/get-cookie https://github.com

# Use Edge and output as Cookie header
npx @kuizuo/get-cookie https://github.com --browser chrome --format header

# If macOS does not have the right to read the keychain, use sudo to let security read the keychain
sudo npx @kuizuo/get-cookie https://github.com --browser edge --format header

CLI options

• <url>: target URL.
• -b, --browser <browser>: browser type (chrome, edge, brave, arc, vivaldi, opera). Default chrome.
• -f, --format <format>: json or header. Default json.

Use as a library (API)
