How it works
Copying a curl command from API docs, a ticket or the browser’s “Copy as cURL” is the quickest way to reproduce a request. Turning it into code by hand, though, is tedious. This tool converts it into the language you use.
Pick the target: JavaScript fetch (browser or Node.js), Python requests, Java 11+ HttpClient or Go net/http. Method, URL, headers, body and the common options are kept: -d becomes a urlencoded form, --json or a Content-Type: application/json header becomes a readable JSON body, -F builds a multipart form, -u adds basic auth, -G moves the data into the URL and -L makes the client follow redirects.
The parser understands shell syntax: single and double quotes, $'…', escapes and lines split with \. If a quote or the URL is missing, you see the error.
Always review the result: if the command uses -k, the code turns off TLS verification, which should only happen in development. The conversion runs in your browser and never executes the request.
Examples
GET with a token to fetch
curl https://api.ejemplo.dev/v1/usuarios -H 'Authorization: Bearer abc123'
const res = await fetch("https://api.ejemplo.dev/v1/usuarios", {
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer abc123",
},
});
const data = await res.text();POST JSON to Python requests
curl -X POST https://api.ejemplo.dev/v1/pedidos --json '{"sku": "TEC-01", "cantidad": 2}'import requests
res = requests.post(
"https://api.ejemplo.dev/v1/pedidos",
headers={
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Accept": "application/json",
},
json={
"sku": "TEC-01",
"cantidad": 2
},
allow_redirects=False,
)
print(res.status_code, res.text)Frequently asked questions
Which curl options does it understand?
Method (-X), headers (-H), body (-d, --data-raw, --data-binary, --data-urlencode, --json), multipart forms (-F), user (-u), cookies (-b), user agent (-A), -G, -I, -L, -k and --compressed. Options that do not change the request, such as -s, -v, -o or --retry, are ignored.
Do commands copied from the browser work?
Yes. "Copy as cURL" in Chrome or Firefox dev tools produces commands with single quotes, $'…' and lines ending in \, and they are all read the way bash would.
Is the request executed?
No. The tool only reads the command and writes code; it makes no network calls. Tokens and passwords you paste never leave your browser.
