Login with cookie

[yeqwer]

Does logging in via cookies work?
If so, what should the cookie data look like?
My goal is to log into an account with only a refresh token. Thanks for any information :D

[yeqwer]

Unfortunately this solution doesn't work.

[yeqwer]

Maybe I can log in not directly with refresh token, but with cookies, which I will get with steam-session module for node js from DoctorMcKay. But I would like to know which cookie dict I should give.

[bukson]

SteamClient supports login_cookies parameter, that allows login by cookies

I'm experiencing the same problem, login with cookies method works fine, but the session dies after 24 hours and you have to login again. It creates another device in the list of authorized devices and if you are unlucky as me, you will get your account locked when you'll try to make_offer_with_url method (steam says it suspects account was stolen, lol)

My problem is that i want to login with cookie but i don't know how cookie dict should look like. i would be very grateful if you show an example of cookie dict. I understand that if i login using steamid, shared_secret, identity_secret and then save cookie and login with cookie in future, it will work. But i don't want to use shared_secret and identity_secret.

My cookies dict looks like this

{"sessionid": "xxxxxxxxxxx", "steamCountry": "xxxxxxxxxxx", "steamLoginSecure": "xxxxxxxxxxxx", "steamRefresh_steam": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"}

The problem is that they last only 24 hours.
Do you have any idea how to login without creating new device everyday?

[yeqwer]

Моя проблема в том, что я хочу войти с помощью cookie, но не знаю, как должен выглядеть cookie dict. Я был бы очень признателен, если бы вы показали пример cookie dict. Я понимаю, что если я войду, используя steamid, shared_secret, identity_secret, а затем сохраню cookie и войду с cookie в будущем, это сработает. Но я не хочу использовать shared_secret и identity_secret.

Мой словарь cookie выглядит так {"sessionid": "xxxxxxxxxxx", "steamCountry": "xxxxxxxxxxx", "steamLoginSecure": "xxxxxxxxxxxx", "steamRefresh_steam": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"} Проблема в том, что они существуют всего 24 часа. Есть ли у вас идеи, как войти в систему, не создавая новое устройство каждый день?

As far as I know a session for 24 hours is refreshed with refresh_token, and you can refresh it in the module for node.js I mentioned above or you can refresh it manually :D

[yeqwer]

I don't know about adding a new device, nor do I know what's wrong with it or how to avoid it. I think that's how steam works.

And you got those dictionary cookies just from your browser?

Yes, I've already read about node. js, maybe we can implement their solution here in Python

No, you can get your cookies after you login with client.login method and then obtain your cookies with client._session.cookies.get_dict("steamcommunity") method

[yeqwer]

But I don't want to use shared_secret and identity_secret for login. I would like to log in immediately with a cookie.

I don't know exactly how the update works. But I do know that this module works very well and I suggest you to look at its code.
I would use only this node.js module myself, but it doesn't have an item purchase function. I've been trying to write add-ons to this module, but I haven't finished yet.

You can login without shared_secret as I said, I meant if you want to obtain cookies you will have to use shared_secret.
If you already have cookies, you can login with you api_key and username and you cookies (there is a method for it)

[yeqwer]

I'm running to try it! :D

[delta325]

I wish you a good luck.
Small tip from me: if you'll login with only cookies, you won't be able to confirm trades, and some exceptions may occur. You will have to catch them.

[yeqwer]

Бегу пробовать! :D

Желаю вам удачи. Небольшой совет от меня: если вы войдете только с куками, вы не сможете подтверждать сделки, и могут возникнуть некоторые исключения. Вам придется их ловить.

Thanks for the tip, I thought I had to confirm, but I only need to buy items ;D

[bukson]

If someone can implement refresh cookie method, I will gladly merge it and release new version.

[yeqwer]

Unfortunately I get an error of this format when I use my cookies from my browser:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/yeqwer/Projects/steam_sculp/steam_controller_py/login2.py", line 18, in <module> client = SteamClient(api_key=API_KEY, username=USER_NAME, login_cookies=LOGIN_COOKIES) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/Users/yeqwer/.pyenv/versions/3.12.7/envs/steam-sculp/lib/python3.12/site-packages/steampy/client.py", line 61, in __init__ self.set_login_cookies(login_cookies) File "/Users/yeqwer/.pyenv/versions/3.12.7/envs/steam-sculp/lib/python3.12/site-packages/steampy/client.py", line 79, in set_login_cookies self.steam_guard = {'steamid': str(self.get_steam_id())} ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/Users/yeqwer/.pyenv/versions/3.12.7/envs/steam-sculp/lib/python3.12/site-packages/steampy/utils.py", line 26, in func_wrapper return func(self, *args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/Users/yeqwer/.pyenv/versions/3.12.7/envs/steam-sculp/lib/python3.12/site-packages/steampy/client.py", line 88, in get_steam_id raise ValueError(f'Invalid steam_id: {steam_id}') ValueError: Invalid steam_id: None

I used the code from the example in the documentation:

from steampy.client import SteamClient from dotenv import load_dotenv import os

load_dotenv()
 
API_KEY = os.getenv("API_KEY") USER_NAME = os.getenv("USER_NAME") LOGIN_COOKIES = { "sessionid": os.getenv("sessionid"), "steamCounry": os.getenv("steamCountry"), "steamLoginSecure": os.getenv("steamLoginSecure"), "steamRefresh_steam": os.getenv("steamRefresh_steam") }

client = SteamClient(api_key=API_KEY, username=USER_NAME, login_cookies=LOGIN_COOKIES)

print(client.was_login_executed)

I have seen a similar error discussed in issues github, but haven't found a solution. Maybe I'm using the wrong cookie format?

Are you sure you use cookies from correct account?
There must be your steam_id there, compare them

steamid is absolutely accurate. As I understand it steamLoginSecure consists of steamid + access_token

I load my cookies as a json file and it works. The problem is in your code I guess. And make sure you use cookies from steamcommunity, not the steam.powered

You're right, I fixed that error, but when I buy a buy item, an error pops up that says I must use the login method. Am I correct that cookie login does not support buying items?

[yeqwer]

I've seen an implementation of buying items where the person only gives a refresh_token. How did you implement it... :D

I use Steampy only to accept and to send trades, I didn't work with buying items xD
You can read docs if something is unclear

The documentation says exactly that I should use the .login() method before purchasing.
That said, I'm definitely logged into the account, just like with shared and identity, but I can't buy items.

Can you please tell me if this is possible or not? @bukson
