Fetching cookies and local/session storage

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
}

Full automation (from `login_cookies.json`)

          "prompt_instructions": "Enter the email address {email[0]} into the Email field.",
          "input_text": "{email[0]}"
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "action_node",
      "interaction_action": {
        "input_text": {
          "command": "get_by_role(\"textbox\", name=\"Password\")",
          "prompt_instructions": "Enter the password into the Password field.",
          "input_text": "{password[0]}"
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "action_node",
      "interaction_action": {
        "click_element": {
          "command": "get_by_role(\"button\", name=\"Sign In\", exact=True)",
          "prompt_instructions": "Click the 'Sign In' button to log into the dashboard."
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "action_node",
      "extraction_action": {
        "state": {}
      },
      "before_sleep_time": 5,
      "end_sleep_time": 0
    }
  ]
}

What you get back

The state extraction appends an OutputData.json_data object with keys:

Key	Description
`page_url`	Current page URL
`page_title`	Current page title
`local_storage`	All `localStorage` key/value pairs
`session_storage`	All `sessionStorage` key/value pairs
`cookies`	Cookies from the current browser context
`document_cookie`	`document.cookie` for the current page

When to use this

Goal	Why this helps
Debug login issues	Confirm if the app uses cookies vs localStorage/sessionStorage tokens
Capture tokens for API calls	Many apps store auth tokens in localStorage/sessionStorage
Validate you landed on the right page	`page_url` and `page_title` confirm navigation after login
