cURL to Code Converter

Why convert curl commands?

Browsers and API tools (Chrome DevTools, Postman, Insomnia) give you a ready-made curl command that reproduces a request exactly. To run that same request in your own application you need code in the language your project uses. This converter parses the command and rebuilds it as correct, runnable code so headers, cookies, query strings, JSON bodies and form fields all survive the move.

What the parser handles

• -X / --request for the HTTP method, with automatic POST detection from -d and -F
• -H / --header, repeated headers, and the combined --user-agent / --referer forms
• -b / --cookie cookie strings, plus cookie parsing from a Cookie header
• -d / --data / --data-raw, --data-urlencode, and -F / --form multipart fields
• Basic auth from -u / --user, -k insecure, -L follow redirects, -I HEAD
• Shell quoting: single quotes, double quotes, escaped characters, and multi-line backslash continuations

Supported target languages

• Python using the requests library
• Node.js using native global fetch
• Browser using fetch for front-end work
• PHP using curl via curl_init
• Go using net/http
• C# using HttpClient
• PowerShell using Invoke-RestMethod
• cURL reference, a normalized and commented version of the original

Why a parser instead of asking an AI

Language models reword curl commands from memory, so they quietly drop cookies, reorder headers, misplace query parameters, or invent flags that never existed. A tokenizer follows the exact shell grammar: every flag, quote and separator is processed with fixed rules, so the output matches the input command character for character. When you are moving a live authenticated request, deterministic parsing is the safer choice.

Privacy

Everything runs in your browser. The command never leaves the page, which matters when a request contains session cookies or API tokens you do not want to paste into a hosted service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cURL command?

cURL is a command-line tool for sending HTTP requests. Browsers and API clients can export any request as a curl command that reproduces it exactly.

Where do I copy a curl command from?

In Chrome DevTools open the Network tab, right click a request, then Copy and choose "Copy as cURL". Postman and Insomnia offer the same export.

How do I convert curl to Python?

Paste the command, keep the Python (requests) target selected, and click Convert. The output uses the requests library with headers, cookies and body preserved.

Why is the generated code missing a header I set?

Headers with empty values, or the default Content-Type that curl invents for a body, are sometimes redundant in the generated code. Inspect the cURL reference output to compare.

Does this tool upload my command?

No. All parsing happens locally in the browser. Nothing is sent to any server.

Can it convert curl to Go or C#?

Yes. The target dropdown includes Go with net/http and C# with HttpClient, plus PHP, PowerShell and browser fetch.
