How to get your session key
Pawchive needs your session key in order to access posts from the creators you are subscribed to. Below are the respective cookies for the supported paysites.
Cookies by paysite
Prefer one-click? Drag the bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar, open the paysite in a tab and click the bookmark — it reads the cookie and opens the Importer with the key prefilled.
Chrome / Edge
- Press F12 to open DevTools (or Ctrl+Shift+I / right-click → Inspect).
- Open the Application tab (click >> if hidden), expand Cookies, pick the paysite's domain.
- Find the cookie name listed above for the paysite, copy its Value, paste it into the Importer.
Safari
- Enable Preferences → Advanced → “Show features for web developers”.
- Open Web Inspector (⌘⌥I), then Storage → Cookies → [site].
- Double-click the cookie for your service and copy its Value.
Firefox
- Open DevTools (F12) and switch to the Storage tab.
- Expand Cookies → [site], right-click the cookie and choose Copy.
For other browsers, consult that browser's docs on inspecting stored cookies.
Discord
- Open Discord in a browser and open DevTools.
- In the Console tab, paste and run the snippet below.
- Copy the returned string between quotes — that's your self-token.
Snippet:
(webpackChunkdiscord_app.push([[''],{},e=>{m=[];for(let c in e.c)m.push(e.c[c])}]),m).find(m=>m?.exports?.default?.getToken!==void 0).exports.default.getToken()Instructions on how to find channel IDs are in Discord's own docs.
⚠️ Never share your session key or self-token publicly. Anyone with it can act as you on the paysite.
