Although API requests do not typically require cookies, some APIs use them much like regular websites—for session handling, authentication, or other stateful interactions. Automation Workshop therefore allows cookies to be included with any API request.
Configure HTTP cookies used in API requests to manage session handling and authenticated interactions with web services. Cookies help maintain state between requests, ensuring consistent and reliable communication with APIs.
| Cookies | Details |
|---|---|
| List of cookies | Define cookies included with the request. Entries can come from this Universal Web API Call Action or linked Web Profiles. Cookies help maintain session state during API interactions and support consistent request handling across related endpoints. Inherited profile cookies are shown first and highlighted. Cookies configured directly in this Action follow as regular entries. |
| Add / Edit / Remove | Add new cookies, edit, or remove existing cookies. |
| Min / Max | Resize the cookies editing area. |
| View stored cookies… | View cookies currently stored by Automation Workshop. |
| Also, send previously stored cookies | Send stored or defined cookies with requests to preserve session state and ensure consistent communication with websites. This helps maintain session continuity for API requests that rely on session-based authentication. |
| Store received cookies | Automatically store cookies received from server responses to maintain session continuity across requests. This helps preserve session data during API interactions. |
Note
- Shared cookie handling is configured in the Web Profile. See Profile cookies to edit shared entries, or review the cookies caching policy for storage and reuse behavior.
