🐙 Why Octoparse
- Built for X (Twitter): The automation opens X with the supplied account information or optional browser cookies, establishes a session, and returns the resulting cookies together with HTML or an error field.
- Inputs match the workflow: The form uses Username (e.g. @elonmusk ) (up to 100 entries), Password, and Cookies from Browser (optional, check note 3 on Information).
- Fields stay connected: Get Twitter Cookies returns
html,cookies, anderrorin the same structured dataset. - Ready for repeat use: After Get Twitter Cookies runs in the cloud, schedule eligible tasks and export the rows for spreadsheets, dashboards, APIs, or AI workflows.
📝 Input
Complete the following fields:
- Username (e.g. @elonmusk ) (Required) — Enter the X username in @username format. Use the username rather than an email address because email-based login can trigger additional username verification. Up to 100 entries per run.

- Cookies from Browser (optional, check note 3 on Information) (Optional) — Optional. Provide converted browser cookies as a fallback when account-based login is restricted.
