Re: can replicator work with cookies somehow?

I don't fully understand what you are trying to do, but it looks like the replicator does support providing oauth tokens:

Generally, the easiest way to replicate on behalf of a user is to set it replication as an _admin, but provided an appropriate user_ctx property:
