About cURL to Code
Working with APIs often starts with a curl command from documentation or browser DevTools. This tool parses your curl command and generates clean, ready-to-use code in PHP (Guzzle), JavaScript (fetch or axios), or Python (requests). It automatically detects the HTTP method, headers, request body, and authentication, saving you time translating between formats.
How to Use
- Paste your curl command into the input field.
- Select the target language: PHP (Guzzle), JS (fetch), JS (axios), or Python (requests).
- Click "Convert" to generate the code.
- Copy the output and use it in your project.
Key Features
- ✓ Parse curl commands with headers, body, and auth
- ✓ Generate PHP code using Guzzle HTTP client
- ✓ Generate JavaScript code using fetch or axios
- ✓ Generate Python code using requests library
- ✓ Auto-detect HTTP method from -X flag or -d flag
- ✓ Handle JSON body, form data, and basic authentication
Common Use Cases
- • Converting API documentation examples to your language
- • Translating browser DevTools network requests to code
- • Quickly scaffolding HTTP client code from curl
- • Learning how different HTTP libraries handle requests
Frequently Asked Questions
What curl options are supported?
The tool supports -X (method), -H (headers), -d/--data (body), -u (basic auth), and URL detection. Line continuations with backslash are handled automatically.
Does it handle JSON bodies?
Yes. If the -d data is valid JSON, the generated code uses the appropriate JSON method (e.g., json parameter in Guzzle, JSON.stringify in fetch, json= in requests).
Can I use multiline curl commands?
Yes. The tool handles line continuations (backslash + newline) commonly seen in documentation.
Is the generated code production-ready?
The generated code is a solid starting point. You may want to add error handling, timeouts, and environment-specific configuration for production use.
