About this cURL to Code Converter

API documentation, Postman, and browser DevTools all love exporting requests as curl commands — but curl syntax isn't the code you actually want to run in your application. This converter bridges that gap: paste a curl command copied from anywhere and get working JavaScript or Python code in seconds, instead of hand-translating flags into fetch options or a requests call.

Why convert curl commands to code

  • Turn a "copy as curl" export from Postman or browser DevTools into working application code
  • Quickly prototype an API integration from documentation examples
  • Avoid manually mapping -H, -d, and -X flags to the right SDK options

Supported curl flags

  • -X / --request — HTTP method
  • -H / --header — request headers (multiple allowed)
  • -d / --data / --data-raw / --data-binary — request body
  • -u / --user — basic auth credentials
  • A plain URL argument (with or without a preceding flag)

fetch vs axios vs requests — which to pick

Use fetch if you want zero dependencies and are targeting modern browsers or Node.js 18+. Use axios if your project already depends on it, or you want automatic JSON parsing and simpler error handling. Use Python requests for any Python script, backend service, or automation task.
