Converters

cURL to Code Converter

Paste a curl command and get equivalent code in JavaScript (fetch), Python (requests), Node.js (axios), or HTTPie. The converter parses all common curl flags: -H headers, -d/--data body, -X method, --auth, --compressed, -L follow redirects, and more. Great for turning a curl command from API docs into ready-to-use code.

cURL to Code — Convert a curl command into fetch, Python requests or axios code

What it does

  • ▸Converts curl commands to JavaScript fetch, Python requests, axios, or HTTPie
  • ▸Parses -H/--header flags into proper header objects
  • ▸Handles -d/--data and --data-raw for POST/PUT request bodies
  • ▸Supports -X/--request for specifying HTTP methods
  • ▸Handles -u/--user for Basic Auth credentials
  • ▸Preserves URL, query parameters, and cookies

Use cases

  • ▸Converting a curl command from API documentation into application code
  • ▸Generating Python requests code from a curl command for a script
  • ▸Creating axios code for a Node.js project from a curl example
  • ▸Translating a curl command into HTTPie for terminal use

How it works

1

Paste your curl command into the input pane

2

Select the target language (fetch, Python, axios, HTTPie)

3

The tool parses the curl flags and generates equivalent code

4

Copy the generated code into your project

Frequently asked questions

1Does it handle multipart form data?

Yes. curl commands with -F flags (multipart/form-data) are converted to the equivalent multipart form submission in the target language. For Python, this becomes the files parameter in requests. For fetch, it uses FormData.

2What about --compressed and -L flags?

The tool handles --compressed (adds Accept-Encoding: gzip) and -L (follow redirects). These are translated to the appropriate options in each target language.

3Can it handle complex curl commands with variables?

The tool parses standard curl syntax. Shell variables ($VAR) in the command are preserved as-is in the output code — you'll need to replace them with your language's variable interpolation syntax.
