Authentication

Refer to the G4F Authentication Setup Guide for detailed instructions on setting up authentication.

Cookies Configuration

Cookies are essential for using Meta AI and Microsoft Designer to create images. Additionally, cookies are required for the Google Gemini and WhiteRabbitNeo Provider. From Bing, ensure you have the "_U" cookie, and from Google, all cookies starting with "__Secure-1PSID" are needed.

You can pass these cookies directly to the create function or set them using the set_cookies method before running G4F:

from g4f.cookies import set_cookies

set_cookies(".bing.com", {
  "_U": "cookie value"
})

set_cookies(".google.com", {
  "__Secure-1PSID": "cookie value"
})

HAR and Cookie Files

Using .har and Cookie Files You can place .har and cookie files .json in the default ./har_and_cookies directory. To export a cookie file, use the EditThisCookie Extension available on the Chrome Web Store.

Creating .har Files to Capture Cookies To capture cookies, you can also create .har files. For more details, refer to the next section.

Changing the Cookies Directory and Loading Cookie Files in Python

You can change the cookies directory and load cookie files in your Python environment. To set the cookies directory relative to your Python file, use the following code:

import os.path
from g4f.cookies import set_cookies_dir, read_cookie_files

import g4f.debug
g4f.debug.logging = True

cookies_dir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "har_and_cookies")
set_cookies_dir(cookies_dir)
read_cookie_files(cookies_dir)

Debug Mode

If you enable debug mode, you will see logs similar to the following:

Read .har file: ./har_and_cookies/you.com.har
Cookies added: 10 from .you.com
Read cookie file: ./har_and_cookies/google.json
Cookies added: 16 from .google.com

.HAR File for OpenaiChat Provider

Generating a .HAR File

To utilize the OpenaiChat provider, a .har file is required from https://chatgpt.com/. Follow the steps below to create a valid .har file:

1. Navigate to https://chatgpt.com/ using your preferred web browser and log in with your credentials.
2. Access the Developer Tools in your browser. This can typically be done by right-clicking the page and selecting "Inspect," or by pressing F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I (Cmd+Option+I on a Mac).
3. With the Developer Tools open, switch to the "Network" tab.
4. Reload the website to capture the loading process within the Network tab.
5. Initiate an action in the chat which can be captured in the .har file.
6. Right-click any of the network activities listed and select "Save all as HAR with content" to export the .har file.

Storing the .HAR File

• Place the exported .har file in the ./har_and_cookies directory if you are using Docker. Alternatively, if you are using Python from a terminal, you can store it in a ./har_and_cookies directory within your current working directory.

Note: Ensure that your .har file is stored securely, as it may contain sensitive information.

Proxy Configuration

If you want to hide or change your IP address for the providers, you can set a proxy globally via an environment variable:

- On macOS and Linux:

export G4F_PROXY="http://host:port"

- On Windows:

set G4F_PROXY=http://host:port
