How to use cookies with Python requests module?

I am trying to do a get request and saving the cookies from that and using it for a post request. I tried that with this code:

s = requests.Session()
resp = s.get(url1)
resp2 = requests.post(url2, data=payload, headers=headers, cookies=s.cookies)

but I can't get this to work correctly. The post request won't have the same cookies as the get request.

Am I doing something wrong?

You are already using Session(), its whole purpose is to save you the hassle of handling cookies. It already stores the cookies obtained from the server and automatically sends/updates them in subsequent requests.

Here's how you should do it:

s = requests.Session()
resp = s.get(url1)
resp2 = s.post(url2, data=payload, headers=headers)
