cURL Converter translates curl commands into code snippets for Python (requests), JavaScript (fetch / axios), PHP (Guzzle), Go (net/http), Ruby (net/http), Java (OkHttp), and more. Paste a curl command copied from browser DevTools or API documentation and instantly get runnable code in your language of choice. Eliminates manual translation and copy-paste errors.
How it Works
1Paste a curl command into the input field (e.g. from Chrome DevTools 'Copy as cURL').
2Select the target programming language and HTTP library from the dropdown.
3The converter parses the curl flags and generates equivalent code.
4Copy the generated code snippet directly into your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I copy a curl command from Chrome DevTools?
Open Chrome DevTools (F12), go to the Network tab, make the request you want to replicate, right-click the request in the list, hover 'Copy', and select 'Copy as cURL (bash)'. This copies the exact request including headers, cookies, and body — paste it directly into the converter.
Which curl flags are supported?
The converter supports the most common flags: -X (method), -H (headers), -d / --data (body), --data-raw, --data-binary, -u (basic auth), -b (cookies), -F (form data), --json, --compressed, and -k (insecure). Obscure flags for proxies, certificates, and advanced networking may not convert.
Does the converter include authentication headers in the output?
Yes. All headers from the curl command, including Authorization, Cookie, and custom API key headers, are included in the generated code. Review the output before committing to avoid hardcoding credentials in your codebase — use environment variables instead.
Can I convert in the reverse direction — from code to curl?
The tool currently converts from curl to code. Reverse conversion (code to curl) requires parsing code which is more complex. For the reverse, manually reconstruct the curl command from the request parameters, or use your language's HTTP library debugging output.
