How to Get Bearer Token from Browser Using Selenium

Here is a detailed explanation on how to retrieve a bearer token from a browser using Selenium.

1. Install Selenium:

Make sure you have Selenium installed in your Python environment. You can install it using the following command:

pip install selenium

2. Import the necessary libraries:

from selenium import webdriver
   from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

3. Start the Selenium WebDriver:

driver = webdriver.Chrome('path_to_chrome_driver')

Make sure to replace ‘path_to_chrome_driver’ with the actual path to the Chrome driver executable on your system.

4. Open the desired website:

driver.get('https://example.com')

Replace ‘https://example.com’ with the actual URL of the website you want to retrieve the bearer token from.

5. Find the username and password input fields:

username_field = driver.find_element_by_id('username')
   password_field = driver.find_element_by_id('password')

Replace ‘username’ and ‘password’ with the actual IDs or names of the input fields on the website.

6. Enter the username and password:

username_field.send_keys('your_username')
   password_field.send_keys('your_password')

Replace ‘your_username’ and ‘your_password’ with your actual login credentials.

7. Submit the login form:

password_field.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

You can also use other methods like clicking a submit button if available.

8. Retrieve the bearer token:

bearer_token = driver.get_cookie('token')['value']

This assumes that the bearer token is stored in a cookie named ‘token’. Modify it accordingly based on how the token is stored on the website.

9. Close the WebDriver:

driver.quit()

This will close the browser window.

10. Use the bearer token:

Now, you can use the ‘bearer_token’ variable to authenticate API requests by including it in the Authorization header.
