How to Reuse Browser Sessions Instead of Logging In Every Time
Description and use
Reusing a browser profile with pre‑imported cookies eliminates repetitive logins in automation scripts, saving time and simplifying maintenance.
Problem
Repetitive login steps waste time when running browser automation scripts repeatedly or for multiple accounts.
Outcome
Using a persistent browser profile with pre‑imported cookies eliminates the need to log in on every run, reducing script execution time and simplifying maintenance.
Workflow
- Import cookies into the 2Captcha Browser API profile via POST https://cb-api.2captcha.com/cookies/import-cookies
- Connect to the Browser API using the provided CDP connection URI
- Open the target website; the session is already authenticated
Evidence
A simpler approach is to reuse a browser profile and preload it with cookies.
According to the current Browser API limits, a profile can be stored for up to 90 days, while an individual browser session can run for up to 30 minutes.
The cookies are not pushed into a browser that is already running. They are staged for the profile and applied the next time you connect to that profile.
