Use this example to capture browser state after login—including cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage—so you can debug authentication flows and reuse tokens in downstream steps. This page is intentionally keyword-rich so you can find it by searching for: cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, browser storage, auth token, state extraction, storage state.

​
Overview

This automation:
  • Logs in to a site (email + password)
  • Runs a state extraction to capture:
    • page_url, page_title
    • local_storage, session_storage
    • cookies, document_cookie
The full example automation lives at optexity/examples/login_cookies.json.

​
Minimal example

After your login interaction steps, add a state extraction node: 
{
  "type": "action_node",
  "extraction_action": {
    "state": {}
  },
  "before_sleep_time": 5,
  "end_sleep_time": 0
}

        }
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "action_node",

      },
      "before_sleep_time": 5,
      "end_sleep_time": 0
    }
  ]
}

​
What you get back

The state extraction appends an OutputData.json_data object with keys:
KeyDescription
page_urlCurrent page URL
page_titleCurrent page title
local_storageAll localStorage key/value pairs
session_storageAll sessionStorage key/value pairs
cookiesCookies from the current browser context
document_cookiedocument.cookie for the current page

When to use this

GoalWhy this helps
Debug login issuesConfirm if the app uses cookies vs localStorage/sessionStorage tokens
Capture tokens for API callsMany apps store auth tokens in localStorage/sessionStorage
Validate you landed on the right pagepage_url and page_title confirm navigation after login
