Parsing and code generation run entirely in your browser. The request is never sent, so tokens in the command are not transmitted anywhere.

Turning a curl Command Into Working Client Code

Browser developer tools and API documentation hand you curl commands, but the code you need is usually in another language. This converter tokenizes the command the way a shell does, honouring single and double quotes, backslash escapes and line continuations, then reads the flags that change the request: method, headers, request body, basic auth, redirect handling and certificate checks. It emits idiomatic code for eight targets rather than a generic HTTP call, and it never executes the request.

How to Convert a curl Command

  1. 1Copy a command with 'Copy as cURL' in your browser network panel, or take one from API documentation.
  2. 2Paste it into the input area. The parsed method, header count, body size and auth are shown so you can confirm it was read correctly.
  3. 3Pick a target language. Python requests, fetch, axios, Go, PHP, Ruby, C# and PowerShell are supported.
  4. 4Copy the generated code into your project and replace any hardcoded token with a value from your configuration.
  5. 5Check the parse summary if the output looks wrong: an unquoted header or a missing value is reported with a specific message.

Where This Saves Time

Reproduce a browser request in a script

Copy a failing XHR as curl, convert it to Python or Node, and iterate on it outside the browser.

Port API documentation samples

Vendor docs almost always show curl. Convert the example into the language your service is actually written in.

Write integration tests faster

Turn a working manual request into client code you can assert against, without hand-translating every header.

Explain a request to a teammate

Show the same call in two languages so reviewers can see the method, headers and body without reading shell flags.

Frequently asked questions

Which curl options are supported?

Method (-X, --request), headers (-H), request bodies (-d and the --data variants), form fields (-F), basic auth (-u), user agent (-A), cookies (-b), referer (-e), --url, plus the -k and -L behaviour flags. Options that only affect terminal output, such as -s, -v and -i, are parsed and ignored because they have no client-code equivalent.

Why does the fetch output mention that -k cannot be translated?

curl -k disables TLS certificate verification. A browser cannot switch that off, so there is no honest fetch equivalent. The converter says so in a comment rather than silently dropping the flag and producing code that behaves differently from the command you pasted.

Is my command sent anywhere?

No. Tokenizing, parsing and code generation all happen in your browser, and the tool never performs the request. That matters because pasted curl commands routinely contain bearer tokens, cookies and API keys.

Will the generated code run without changes?

It reproduces the method, URL, headers and body faithfully, but you should still review it. Credentials should move into environment variables, and multipart form uploads are emitted as joined fields rather than as real file uploads.
