Bypass Repeated Logins & Captchas by Saving Cookies using Pickle

[aapatre]

Instead of logging in on each run, we can save the cookies using Python's Pickle module. So the login procedure will only be triggered on the first run and we can save time on other routine runs of the script.

Here's the info:

Ye this is a good idea. We could get the cookie via REST which would avoid maintainence on the UI login stuff.
Would need to have a try/except in case the cookie expires though. I 'd imagine the login cookie has an expiry

I see, the expiry thing can be an issue
