if we can call API with designated cookie to retrieve the log before outputting to downstream in Filebeat ?

Scenarios:

1. My server have generated the first batch 1000 records log with cookie information
2. I need to extract the cookie information in the first batch log
3. Then I want to trigger a call to my endpoint in my application server with the extracted cookie to retrieve second batch log in filebeat, the what would be the solution ?
