cURL to Code Converter

Converts a curl command into fetch, Python requests or PowerShell, with the shell quoting handled properly.

Processing happens locally in your browser. What you paste or load is processed by this page and is not uploaded to a server. Nothing is stored unless you use a control that says it stores something, and you can clear anything this site has kept from the privacy page.

How to use this tool

  1. Paste the whole curl command, including any line continuations.
  2. Choose the language you want it in.
  3. Select Convert.
  4. Read the summary for anything that could not be carried across — credentials, multipart fields and disabled certificate checks are all reported there.

What curl converter does

The command is split with the shell’s own quoting rules — single quotes, double quotes, backslash escapes and line continuations — rather than on whitespace, so a JSON body containing spaces and quotes survives the trip. Flags that only affect curl’s own output, such as -s, -i and -L, are dropped rather than mistranslated.

What cannot be carried across is said out loud instead of being guessed at. A -u credential needs base64 encoding and leaves a marked placeholder; -F multipart fields need a real file handle and are reported as dropped; -k becomes an explicit switch to turn off certificate checking, flagged because it should not survive into anything real. Nothing is executed and no request is made — you get code to read first.

Frequently asked questions

No. It reads the command as text and writes equivalent code for you to check. Nothing is requested, and no header or body from the command leaves your browser. That is deliberate — curl commands routinely carry live tokens.

Because HTTP basic authentication needs the username and password base64-encoded together, and putting your real password through an encoder here would mean handling it. A marked placeholder is left in the right place instead, so you can supply the encoded value from wherever you keep it.

They are reported as dropped rather than approximated. A multipart form field usually references a file, and every target language builds that differently — FormData in JavaScript, a files argument in requests. Converting the shape without the file would produce code that looks right and does not work.
