Provide a Python script to retrieve my Firefox Sync account tabs.
Jan 20, 5:44pm

To retrieve your Firefox Sync account tabs, you can use the Firefox Accounts API and the Firefox Sync API. This requires you to authenticate with your Firefox account and then fetch your synced tabs.

Here’s a Python script that demonstrates how to do this using the python-fxa and requests libraries.

Prerequisites

  1. Install the required libraries:

    bash
    pip install python-fxa requests
  2. You need your Firefox account credentials (email and password) and, optionally, a Sync Key if you use one.


Python Script

python
from fxa.core import Client import requests import json # Replace these with your Firefox account credentials FXA_EMAIL = "your_firefox_account_email@example.com" FXA_PASSWORD = "your_firefox_account_password" # If you use a custom Sync Key, provide it here. Otherwise, leave as None. SYNC_KEY = None # or "your_sync_key_here" def get_firefox_sync_tabs(): # Step 1: Authenticate with Firefox Accounts client = Client() session = client.login(FXA_EMAIL, FXA_PASSWORD, "Firefox Sync Tabs Script") # Step 2: Get the Sync tokens tokens = session.get_sync_tokens() access_token = tokens["access_token"] sync_key = SYNC_KEY or tokens.get("kB", None) if not sync_key: raise ValueError("No Sync Key found. Check if you use a custom Sync Key.") # Step 3: Fetch synced tabs headers = { "Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}", } response = requests.get( "https://sync-1-us-west2.sync.services.mozilla.com/1.5/your_fxa_uid/storage/tabs", headers=headers, ) if response.status_code == 200: tabs_data = response.json() tabs = tabs_data.get("tabs", []) for client in tabs: print(f"Client: {client.get('title', 'Unknown Device')}") for tab in client.get("tabs", []): print(f" - {tab.get('title', 'No Title')} ({tab.get('urlHistory', ['No URL'])[0]})") else: print(f"Failed to fetch tabs: {response.status_code} - {response.text}") if __name__ == "__main__": get_firefox_sync_tabs()

How It Works

  1. Authentication: The script logs in to your Firefox account using the python-fxa library.
  2. Sync Tokens: It retrieves the access token and Sync Key required to access your synced data.
  3. Fetch Tabs: It makes a GET request to the Firefox Sync API to fetch your synced tabs.

Notes

  • Security: Never hardcode your credentials in a script. Use environment variables or a secure credential manager.
  • Sync Key: If you use a custom Sync Key, provide it in the script. Otherwise, the script will try to use the default key from the session.
  • Firefox Sync API: The endpoint may vary based on your region. Adjust the URL if needed.
  • Rate Limits: Be mindful of API rate limits.

Troubleshooting

  • If you get a 401 Unauthorized error, double-check your credentials and Sync Key.
  • If you get a 404 Not Found, ensure the Sync endpoint is correct for your region.
