Request:getCookies()

Reads and returns the related value from Request.

Detailed Explanation

This section explains when to use the API, how to call it, and which structures it works best with in production flow.

What It Does

Request:getCookies performs one focused job in script flow and can be chained cleanly with other API steps. Reads and returns the related value from Request.

When To Use It

For network integration, use HTTPS only, keep the response size bounded, and validate the response code before moving into JSON or File steps. This API becomes most valuable in external integration scenarios.

Parameters and Return

This entry does not require mandatory parameters. This API reads or produces data; storing the returned value in a variable and reusing it in later steps is the safest approach.

Best Combined With

The most common pattern is to parse Request output with JSON or Regex and then pass it into File or Map objects.

Example Usage

The snippet below is a starter pattern that can be applied directly in runtime flow.

lua
-- Request:getCookies
local result = Request:getCookies()
-- Use the result in your script flow

Copyable Progressive Examples

From foundation to combined usage, each level is provided as a separate code block so you can copy the level you need and adapt it directly.

Foundation

Shows the shortest direct way to call the API.

Foundation
lua
-- Request:getCookies
local result = Request:getCookies()
-- Use the result in your script flow

Simple

Wraps the base call with minimal flow control.

Simple
lua
local stepOk = true
-- Request:getCookies
local result = Request:getCookies()
-- Use the result in your script flow
if stepOk then
  wait(200)
end

Practical Flow

A practical pattern for real macros with pcall, logging, and guards.

Practical Flow
lua
local ok, result = pcall(function()
  -- Request:getCookies
  local result = Request:getCookies()
  -- Use the result in your script flow
end)

if not ok then
  print("API step failed: Request:getCookies")
  requestStop()
end

Detailed

This level packages the API into a reusable helper with error reporting.

Detailed
lua
-- For network integration, use HTTPS only, keep the response size bounded, and validate the response code before moving into JSON or File steps.
local function run_getcookies_step()
  -- Request:getCookies
  local result = Request:getCookies()
  -- Use the result in your script flow
end

local ok, err = pcall(run_getcookies_step)
if not ok then
  toast("Step failed")
  print(err)
end

Combined

Combines the API with related structures to form a more realistic workflow.

Combined
lua
local response = Request.get("https://example.com/api/status")
local bodyText = tostring(response:getBody())
local json = JSON.parse(bodyText)
print("Remote status: " .. tostring(json.status))
