Automate Chrome Cookie Extraction for Scraping in n8n Workflow

I’m building an n8n workflow to scrape video data from a specific Douyin channel (e.g., https://www.douyin.com/user/), which requires authentication cookies to access the content. I want to automate the extraction of cookies from an existing Chrome browser session (where I’m already logged into Douyin) to use in an HTTP Request node for scraping. My goal is to avoid manual cookie export (e.g., via browser extensions) and integrate this process into my n8n workflow.

  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): npm (self-hosted, Windows)
  • Operating system: Windows 10
