Save cookies between http requests

support
1

I have an API from which I’m trying to get data, but first, a request must be made that assigns a cookie to the client, which needs to be passed in subsequent requests, i.e.:

https://site.org/ → cookie assigned

After that, I can make requests to:

https://site.org/api

But only if the cookie from the first request is passed. Is this possible with Hugo?

Right now, instead of using an adapter that runs during the build and forms a map with data from the API, I use a custom Go file that runs (go run init.go) in CI before the direct call to hugo build and saves the necessary JSON files for the site. But I would prefer to do this directly using Hugo.

I don’t like posting on forums because as soon as I ask a question, the answer is immediately found.

{{ $initUrl := "https://site.org" }}
{{ $initOpt := dict "responseHeaders" (slice "set-cookie") }}


{{ $apiUrl := "https://site.org/api" }}


{{ with (resources.GetRemote $initUrl $initOpt )}}
    {{ with (resources.GetRemote $apiUrl (dict "headers" (dict "Cookie" (index .Data.Headers "Set-Cookie" )))) }}

        {{ . | unmarshal }}

    {{ end }}
{{ end }}

Basically, the solution boils down to a snippet like this, which solves my problem. I was using version 0.139 of Hugo, but I found the commit with the necessary functionality, which is available from version 0.143 onwards.
