Dzen Publisher

This skill allows you to programmatically publish content to Dzen.ru using a browser-mimic approach.

Setup

Dzen does not provide a public API for posting. This skill uses your active browser session.

1. Get Authentication Data

1. Log in to dzen.ru in your browser.
2. Open the Network tab in Developer Tools (F12).
3. Go to dzen.ru/profile/editor.
4. Find any request to dzen.ru (e.g., entry, list, or even the main page).
5. In the Headers tab:

• Find the Cookie header. Copy its value.
• Find the x-csrf-token header. Copy its value.

2. Create Config File

Create a file named dzen_config.json in the workspace with the following structure:

{
  "cookies": {
    "SESSION_ID": "your_session_id_from_cookies",
    "zen_sso_checked": "...",
    "...": "..."
  },
  "csrf_token": "your_csrf_token"
}

Usage

Publishing a Post

Use the publish.py script to create a post.

python3 scripts/publish.py --title "My Title" --text "My Content" --media image.jpg video.mp4 --config dzen_config.json

Supported Media

• Images: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .webp, .gif.
• Videos: .mp4, .mov, .avi, .mkv.

Media files are uploaded automatically before the final publication.

Tips

• Session Expiry: If the publication fails with a 403 error, your cookies or CSRF token may have expired. Refresh them from the browser.
• CSRF Token: Ensure the X-Csrf-Token matches the one in your config. It is mandatory for all POST requests.
