if your cookie is httponly you can only fetch it on server and not on client

Can you help me with example

Ive tried, want to retrieve at api route

you can just use cookies function from nextjs to get cookies

Please help with examples

Thank you

Still not working

I got null

can you show me your code?

Ok

i set in cookies in middleware and here is the code export default clerkMiddleware(async (auth, req) => {

if (isProtectedRoute(req)) auth().protect();

// managing new user with referral code
const response = NextResponse.next();

const referral = req.nextUrl.searchParams.get('ref');
console.log("Referral code:", referral);

if (req.nextUrl.pathname.startsWith('/sign-up')) {
// Check if referral code cookie already exists
const { referralCode } = await getCookiesStore();

console.log(referralCode, "get cookie in middlewaer")
if (!referralCode) {
// Setting referral code from search params to cookies
console.log("Setting referral code cookie");
response.cookies.set({
name: "referral_code",
value: referral || "", // Set referral code if present, otherwise empty string
maxAge: 86400,
path: '/'
});
}
}

return response;
});

but i want to use it in api/webhooks/clerk/route.ts so i called this function there to retrieve the cookies with this function "use server"
import { cookies } from "next/headers";

export async function getCookiesStore() {
const cookieStore = cookies();
const referralCodeCookie = await cookieStore.get("referral_code");

// Check if the referral_code cookie exists and has a non-null value
const referralCode = referralCodeCookie && referralCodeCookie.value !== null
? referralCodeCookie.value
: null;

return {
referralCode: referralCode,
// You can add other cookies to return here if needed
};
}
but i got null

Thats all please

how are you calling this route?

like using your code or is it the clerk that is calling it?

I using clerk webhooks

Yes

clerk webhooks doesn't supply any cookies

it is clerk who is calling your API not your code hence no cookies

So I cant use it?

But I added my function to fetch the cookies

it calls cookies() which access the cookies from current request

clerk doesn't supply any cookies

Ok

Then I the task cant perform as I was think, have for find different approach

But wish you can help me

I just told you that the thing you are trying to do is not possible

Yes I've understood

But what I trying to is, I've to track users prospect but insert the referral user ID to the fettered user data, so that I can track but because I uses clerk I find difficult to do it. Can you suggests other approches

Thank you

idk if there's a way in clerk to pass custom metadata

please i dont get

ok
