cURL to Code Converter
What It Is. Convert any cURL command into native code for Fetch API, Axios, Python requests, or Go net/http. Paste a cURL command from your terminal, API docs, or browser dev tools and get production-ready code in your target language.
How It Works
The converter tokenizes the cURL command by parsing quoted strings, escaped characters, and whitespace-delimited arguments. It then identifies flag-value pairs: -X sets the HTTP method, -H populates the headers object, and -d captures the request body.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What cURL options does the converter support?
The converter handles -X/--request (HTTP method), -H/--header (request headers), -d/--data/--data-raw/--data-binary (request body), and --data-urlencode. Common flags like --connect-timeout, --max-time, --retry, and --proxy are also parsed. Unknown flags are safely ignored.
Q:Can I convert GraphQL queries from cURL?
Yes. If your cURL command includes a JSON body with "query" and "variables" fields, the converter will parse and preserve the JSON structure in the output for all target languages.
Q:Which HTTP methods are supported?
All standard HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS, and CONNECT. If no -X flag is present, the converter defaults to GET -- or POST if a -d/--data flag is found.
Q:Does the converter handle cookies from cURL?
The converter does not currently translate --cookie or -b flags into cookie-specific code. If your cURL command uses cookies, the header-based approach (adding Cookie: name=value as a -H flag) is supported.
Q:Can I convert cURL commands with file uploads?
File uploads using the -F/--form flag are not currently supported. The converter focuses on JSON and URL-encoded request bodies.
