What is Session Cookie Online?
Session Cookie Online is a specialized utility designed for developers and AI agents who need to maintain authenticated web sessions over extended periods. Instead of relying on resource-heavy browser automation, this skill uses a deterministic HTTP keepalive approach to ensure sessions remain valid. It is a vital component for Openclaw Skills that require persistent access to authenticated endpoints by storing named session profiles in a local SQLite database.
The skill allows for the programmatic refreshing of sessions by replaying HTTP requests and merging Set-Cookie updates back into the storage. This makes it an ideal middle-layer for handing off Cookie headers or JSON cookie maps to other scripts and programs while avoiding the overhead of full browser engines.
Session Cookie Online Use Cases
- Maintaining active login states for APIs or websites that lack long-lived tokens.
- Sharing authenticated headers between different CLI tools or scripts within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem.
- Automating session keepalive pings on a schedule to prevent timeout-induced logouts.
- Managing multiple distinct session profiles for different environments or user accounts.
How Session Cookie Online Works
- Initialize a named profile by providing a cookie header or JSON object captured from browser devtools.
- Store the session data in a local SQLite database located in the user directory for persistence.
- Execute a refresh cycle by calling a lightweight authenticated endpoint to trigger a Set-Cookie update from the server.
- Retrieve the updated cookie string or metadata for use in downstream HTTP requests or external programs.
- Run a persistent background loop to ensure the session remains active indefinitely through scheduled pings.
Session Cookie Online Setup
To start using this skill within your Openclaw Skills environment, follow these steps:
# Upsert a new cookie profile from a header string
python scripts/cookie_alive.py upsert --profile my_session --cookie-header "session_id=xyz123" --refresh-url "https://api.example.com/me"
# Validate the stored cookie
python scripts/cookie_alive.py get --profile my_session
# Run the keepalive loop in the background
python scripts/cookie_alive.py run --profile my_session --interval 300
Session Cookie Online Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes data within SQLite databases stored in ~/.cookie_alive/. Each database maps to a specific profile name.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Profile Name | The unique identifier for the session (default is default). |
| Cookie Data | Stored as either a raw header string or a structured JSON map. |
| Metadata | Tracks last_status_code, last_refreshed_at, and interval_seconds. |
| Storage Path | Files are saved as ~/.cookie_alive/{profile}.db. |
Session Cookie Online Advanced Features
- Deterministic HTTP keepalive requests that minimize resource consumption compared to headless browsers.
- Metadata tracking for session health monitoring, including last response codes and refresh timestamps.
- Multi-format output support allowing cookies to be exported as literal headers or full JSON records for Openclaw Skills integrations.
- Support for external renewal where third-party automation tools can write updated cookies back to the SQLite store.
