curl Converter: Turn curl Commands Into Code
A curl converter parses a curl command (the kind you copy from API docs or your browser's DevTools) and rewrites it as native code: Python requests, JavaScript fetch, Node.js axios, C# HttpClient, or Java HttpClient. Method, headers, body, basic auth, cookies, and redirect flags all carry over, so the generated snippet makes the same request the curl command does.
How it works
- 1
Paste a curl command (multi-line commands with \ continuations work).
- 2
Click Convert and pick a target language.
- 3
Copy the generated code; headers, body, and auth are already wired up.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a curl command to Python?
Paste the command above, click Convert, and choose Python (requests). The URL, method, headers, request body, basic auth (-u), and TLS flags (-k) are translated into an equivalent requests call.
Where do I get a curl command to convert?
API documentation usually provides them, and every browser can generate one: open DevTools → Network tab, right-click any request, and choose Copy → Copy as cURL. Paste the result here to get the same request as application code.
Which curl flags are supported?
The ones that shape the request: -X/--request, -H/--header, -d/--data (all variants, joined like curl does), -F/--form, -u/--user, -b/--cookie, -A/--user-agent, -e/--referer, -G/--get, -L/--location, -k/--insecure, and --url. Output-only flags (-o, -s, -v) are ignored, and anything unrecognized is reported rather than silently dropped.
Does the converted code handle authentication?
Yes. -u user:password becomes native basic auth (requests' auth tuple, axios' auth object, an Authorization header in C#/Java), and Authorization headers you pass with -H are carried through as-is.
Is my curl command sent to a server?
No. Parsing and code generation run entirely in your browser, so commands that contain API keys or tokens never leave your machine.
