cURL to Code Converter

How cURL Translation Works

cURL (Client URL) is the universal command-line utility used by API documentation, browser DevTools, and terminal environments to execute HTTP network requests. While cURL is ideal for rapid manual testing, production software requires strongly structured HTTP client code written in application languages like Python, JavaScript, Go, or Rust.

This converter parses shell arguments, extracts target URLs, HTTP request verbs (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE), header mappings (including authorization tokens and custom cookies), and serializes JSON or form payload data into idiomatic idioms for the selected runtime.

Supported cURL Flags

• -X, --request: HTTP request method override (POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.).
• -H, --header: Custom HTTP header definitions (e.g. -H "Authorization: Bearer ...").
• -d, --data, --data-raw, --data-binary: Request body payload. Automatically converts GET to POST if omitted.
• -u, --user: Basic HTTP authentication credentials (username:password).
• Line continuations (\): Seamlessly normalizes multi-line commands copied directly from browser "Copy as cURL" menus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I copy requests directly from Chrome, Firefox, or Safari DevTools?

Yes. Right-click any network request in your browser's Network tab, select "Copy as cURL" (or "Copy as cURL (bash)"), and paste it directly into this tool. It will immediately generate code for all target languages.

Are API keys or sensitive authorization tokens exposed?

Never. The conversion happens 100% inside your browser's local JavaScript execution context. No data is sent over the network or stored in external servers.

Does the tool format JSON payloads automatically?

Yes. If your cURL command carries a valid JSON payload string, the converter detects it and formats it into language-native dictionaries, maps, or structs rather than escaped raw strings.
