Copying a cURL command out of a browser's network tab or an API's documentation and turning it into working code in your actual language is a small task that comes up constantly — and doing it by hand is error-prone once headers and auth tokens are involved.
| Tool | Target languages | Conversion runs in your browser | Headers, auth, cookies and body |
|---|---|---|---|
| iLoveDevTools | JavaScript (fetch), Node.js (axios), Python, PHP, Go, Rust, Java, C#, PowerShell, Ruby | Yes | Yes |
| curlconverter.com | Many more languages, plus more cURL flags | Check its own page | Yes |
The cURL Converter turns a pasted cURL command into code for ten targets: JavaScript (fetch), Node.js (axios), Python (requests), PHP (cURL), Go (net/http), Rust (reqwest), Java (HttpClient), C# (HttpClient), PowerShell and Ruby (Net::HTTP). It reads the method, URL, headers, the body from -d, --data-raw, --data-urlencode and --json, basic auth (-u), cookies (-b), -A, -e, -L, -k, --compressed, -I and -G, and it lists any flag it could not convert instead of dropping it silently. The conversion runs in your browser: open the Network tab while you paste a command and you will see no request carrying it. That matters because cURL commands copied from devtools often hold real API keys and session cookies.
curlconverter.com covers many more target languages than this tool, and a wider range of cURL flags, including multipart forms and file uploads that the iLoveDevTools converter reports as not converted. If you need a language outside the ten above, or you are converting a complicated command, it is the more complete converter. Check its own page if you want to know how it handles the command you paste.
For the common languages, iLoveDevTools gives you a snippet without the command leaving your browser. For a language it does not offer, or for flags such as -F uploads, curlconverter.com is the better fit.
