cURL Converter

Convert cURL commands into native code snippets for languages like JavaScript and Python.

About this tool

Converts a cURL command — the kind you copy out of a browser's Network tab or an API's documentation — into a working code snippet in your actual language, handling headers, auth, and request body automatically.

How to use it

1. Paste a full cURL command into the input box.
2. Pick a target language tab: JavaScript (fetch), Python (requests), or PHP (cURL).
3. Copy the generated code snippet.

FAQ

What cURL flags are supported?

The parser handles the common ones: -X/--request for the HTTP method, -H/--header for headers, and -d/--data/--data-raw for the request body. Uncommon or shell-specific flags may not be recognized.

Is the cURL command sent to a server to parse?

No — parsing and code generation both happen in your browser. This matters because cURL commands copied from devtools often contain real API keys, tokens, or session cookies.

Why does the method default to POST sometimes?

If a cURL command includes a -d/--data flag but no explicit -X, cURL itself defaults to a POST request — the tool mirrors that same behavior.
