From cURL command to working code
Every API docs page gives you a cURL command, and every browser DevTools session ends with Copy as cURL. But your app does not speak cURL — it speaks fetch, axios, Python requests or Rust. Translating flags, quoting and JSON bodies by hand is tedious and easy to get subtly wrong.
Paste the command once and get idiomatic code back: headers mapped, JSON bodies serialized correctly, authentication carried over, multiline commands and shell quoting handled. The request is never sent — you get code, not a proxy.
Open the free cURL → Code Converter — no signup, runs entirely in your browser.
How to use it
- Paste the full cURL command, including flags and data.
- Choose the target: fetch, axios, Python requests, Rust reqwest or HTTPie.
- Copy the generated code straight into your project.
Why this one
- Understands common flags: headers, methods, data bodies, auth, compression and more.
- Handles shell quoting, line continuations and environment-style variables.
- JSON bodies become properly serialized payloads, not escaped strings.
- Never executes the request — your tokens and endpoints stay private.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tool send my request anywhere?
No. It parses the command and generates code entirely in your browser. Nothing is executed and nothing is transmitted — the network tab stays quiet.
How do I get a cURL command from my browser?
Open DevTools, go to the Network tab, right-click the request and choose Copy as cURL. Paste that here to replay the exact same request in code.
Are JSON request bodies handled correctly?
Yes. --data and --data-raw payloads are detected, parsed when they are JSON, and emitted as properly typed request bodies in the target language.
