cURL to Code Converter

Convert curl commands into JavaScript, Python, Go, PHP or Rust code.

Runs in your browser — your data never leaves your device

cURL command

curl 'https://api.example.com/v1/orders?status=open' \
  -X POST \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"customer_id": 42, "items": [{"sku": "KB-01", "qty": 2}], "express": true}'

JavaScript

const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/v1/orders?status=open', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_TOKEN',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    customer_id: 42,
    items: [
      {
        sku: 'KB-01',
        qty: 2
      }
    ],
    express: true
  }),
});

const data = await response.text();
console.log(response.status, data);

Turn a curl command into ready-to-run request code. Paste anything from your terminal, API docs or your browser’s “Copy as cURL” and get the same request in JavaScript, Python, Go, PHP or Rust. The conversion happens in your browser, so tokens and cookies in the command never leave your machine.

How to Convert cURL to Code

Copy a curl command. In Chrome or Firefox devtools, right-click a request in the Network tab and choose Copy → Copy as cURL.
Paste it into the box on the left.
Pick a language tab and copy the generated code.

Supported curl Options

The converter understands the options that shape a request: the method (-X), headers (-H, -A, -e, -b), request bodies (-d, --data-raw, --data-binary, --data-urlencode, --json), multipart forms and file uploads (-F), basic auth (-u), query strings built with -G, -I for HEAD requests, -k to skip TLS verification and -L to follow redirects. Output-only flags such as -s, -v and -o are ignored, and anything that can’t be translated is listed under the input.

cURL vs fetch, requests and Other HTTP Clients

curl is ideal for trying an API from the terminal, but applications need the same request in their own language. A few defaults differ: curl sends -d data as application/x-www-form-urlencoded, so the generated code sets that header explicitly, and JSON bodies are turned into native objects (a Python dict, a JavaScript object) so they are easy to edit. Browsers can’t skip certificate checks, so -k only carries over to server-side languages.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a curl command to code?

Paste the curl command into the input box and pick a language tab. The equivalent request code appears instantly and can be copied with one click.

How do I get a curl command from my browser?

Open developer tools, go to the Network tab, right-click a request and choose Copy → Copy as cURL. Paste it here to turn it into code.

Which languages are supported?

JavaScript (fetch), Node.js (axios), Python (requests), Go (net/http), PHP (cURL) and Rust (reqwest).

Which curl options are supported?

Methods, headers, cookies, user agent, request bodies (-d, --data-raw, --data-urlencode, --json), multipart forms and file uploads (-F), basic auth (-u), -G query strings, -I, -k and -L. Options that cannot be translated are listed as warnings.

Is it safe to paste commands that contain API keys?

Yes. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so tokens, cookies and passwords in the command are never sent anywhere.
