cURL Code Converter

cURL is the lingua franca of API testing: API docs, Postman and browser DevTools can all export requests as cURL commands. In Chrome or Edge, open DevTools, go to the Network tab, right-click any request and choose Copy → Copy as cURL (bash) to capture the exact request. Paste it here to turn it into JavaScript Fetch, Axios, Python requests or Go net/http code. On Windows there is also a "Copy as cURL (cmd)" option that escapes with ^; pick the bash version instead to avoid parsing problems.

The converter reads the request URL, the HTTP method from -X or --request, every -H/--header header, and the body from -d, --data or --data-raw. Just like cURL itself, a request with -d and no explicit method is treated as POST. If the headers include Content-Type: application/json, the generated code keeps it so the server parses the JSON body correctly.

Flags that are not supported yet, such as -F for file uploads, -u for basic auth, -b for cookies or -k to skip certificate checks, are ignored, so add them by hand after converting. Basic auth becomes an Authorization: Basic header with base64-encoded "user:password"; file uploads use FormData in Fetch and the files argument in Python requests. Backslash line continuations in multi-line commands are merged automatically, so you do not need to tidy them up first.

A security reminder: a cURL command copied from the browser often contains cookies, bearer tokens or API keys, which are effectively your login. Parsing happens entirely in your browser and nothing is sent to a server, but strip or replace those secrets before pasting the result into GitHub, a chat channel or a ticket, and never hard-code keys in front-end code.
