How can I send a cookie via node-fetch

Question

I recently started to work with the roblox api, It's been going good so far but I can't login. I tried to set the cookie by doing apiCall.headers.set-cookie = cookie, But that doesn't seem to work. How can I solve this issue?

Would I have to get set-cookie then edit it? i.g

const cookieSet = await apiCall.headers.get("set-cookie") cookieSet = cookie

If I made it difficult to understand, I'll try to make it more clear How would I post a cookie to a roblox API?

My code:

 if (!cookie.startsWith("_|WARNING:")) { throw new Error("Make sure your token is correct") } const cookies = { headers: { cookie: cookie } } await fetch("https://www.roblox.com", cookies) const thing = await fetch('https://api.roblox.com/currency/balance', cookies).then(res => res.json()) console.log(thing)

Thing outputs : { errors: [ { code: 403, message: 'Forbidden' } ] }

Does this answer your question? How to send cookies with node-fetch? — Mobilpadde

What's the purpose of the cookie? Because a 403 would suggest an authorisation problem, meaning you don't have permissions to do what you are trying to do... — James

Well turns out I had to access the cookie from the Header. I did so by doing

 const apiCall = await html.func("api.roblox.com/currency/balance", { headers: { cookie: `.ROBLOSECURITY=${cookie}` } })

Thanks for those who tried to help me!

Well, I didn't realize it until I kept staring at it.
