cURL is a command-line tool for making HTTP requests. Developers use it to test APIs, download files, and debug web services. Browser DevTools can copy requests as cURL commands, which you can then convert to code.

How do I get cURL from browser DevTools?

Open DevTools (F12), go to Network tab, make a request, right-click the request, select 'Copy as cURL'. Paste into the converter to generate Python, JavaScript, PHP, Go, or other language code.

What languages can cURL convert to?

Common conversions: Python (requests library), JavaScript (fetch API), Node.js, PHP (curl extension), Go, Java, Ruby, Rust, and more. The converter handles headers, cookies, POST data, authentication, and complex options.

Convert cURL commands to JavaScript (Fetch/Axios), Python (requests), Go, PHP, or Java. Paste your cURL command and select the target language.

What is cURL to Code Converter?

cURL to Code Converter transforms cURL commands into executable code in multiple programming languages. cURL is a command-line tool for HTTP requests, widely used for API testing. This converter parses cURL syntax (URL, headers, method, data, auth) and generates equivalent code for JavaScript (Fetch/Axios), Python (requests), Go, PHP, and Java.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get cURL commands from browser?

Chrome DevTools: Network tab > right-click request > Copy as cURL. Firefox: Network tab > right-click > Copy as cURL. This captures headers, cookies, method, URL, and POST data. Paste directly into converter for instant code generation.

Which languages are supported?

JavaScript Fetch (browser native), Axios (Node.js/library), Python requests, Go net/http, PHP curl functions, Java HttpURLConnection. Each generates complete, runnable code with imports, configuration, and error handling patterns.

How are authentication headers handled?

-u user:pass Basic Auth converts to Authorization: Basic base64(user:pass). Bearer tokens in headers preserved as-is. Auth appears in generated code's headers section. Remove sensitive auth before sharing generated code.

What cURL options are parsed?

-X METHOD (request method), URL, -H 'Header: Value' (headers), -d 'data' or --data-raw (POST body), -u 'user:pass' (Basic Auth). Line breaks (\) handled correctly. Options not supported are ignored in generated code.

Is generated code production-ready?

Generated code is functional but may need adjustment. Add error handling, timeouts, response validation. Verify headers match your API requirements. Test in your environment before production use. Code patterns follow language conventions.

Can I convert cURL with cookies?

Cookies in -H 'Cookie: ...' headers are preserved in generated code. For session cookies, ensure your code handles cookie persistence. Browser DevTools captures cookies in Copy as cURL, which this converter processes.
