cURL to Code

How to use it

1. Copy a cURL command from documentation, DevTools (Copy as cURL) or a README, and paste it into the left panel.
2. Pick the Target: JavaScript fetch, Python requests, or Go net/http.
3. The generated snippet appears on the right; unclear spots are listed under Notes instead of being silently dropped.
4. Use Copy to take the code into your editor.
5. Press Sample to load an example command that exercises method, headers, body and basic auth.

Common use cases

• Reproducing API examples - most API docs lead with cURL; convert once and keep working in your own stack.
• Porting DevTools requests - copy a browser request as cURL, then turn it into test code for your backend.
• Debugging integrations - generate the same call in three languages to isolate client-specific issues.
• Saving time on boilerplate - headers, auth and request bodies are wired up for you.

Why it stays private

The command is parsed with a small tokenizer in your browser's memory. cURL commands often carry session tokens, API keys and internal URLs, so nothing is transmitted anywhere.

FAQ

Q: Which flags are understood? A: -X/--request, -H/--header, -d/--data (plus --data-raw, --data-binary, --data-ascii), --data-urlencode, -u/--user and --url. Common switches like -L, -k or --compressed are recognized but have no direct code equivalent.

Q: What happens with flags it does not know? A: They are ignored, and every ignored or approximated detail is listed in the Notes section so you can decide what to adjust by hand.

Q: Can it read body files like -d @data.json? A: No. Browser pages cannot read local files you did not pick explicitly - the file reference is reported in the Notes, and you should paste the file content yourself.
