cURL is the universal language of HTTP — every API documentation page shows examples as cURL commands. But when you need to integrate that API into your application, you have to manually translate the flags into your language's HTTP client. This tool does that translation automatically: paste a cURL command and get runnable code in JavaScript, Python, PHP, Java, or Salesforce Apex.
What gets converted
HTTP Method & URL
-X POST, -X PUT, -X DELETE and the target URL including query parameters.
Headers
All -H flags including Authorization, Content-Type, and custom headers.
Request Body
-d / --data JSON bodies, URL-encoded form data, and -F multipart form fields.
Auth Shortcuts
-u user:pass Basic Auth is converted to the appropriate Authorization header or language-specific auth helper.
Workflow tip
The fastest way to get a cURL command is from your browser's DevTools. Open the Network tab, find the request you want to replicate, right-click it, and choose Copy → Copy as cURL. Paste it here and select your target language.
Pipeline
- HTTP Status Codes — look up what the response code from your API means.
- JWT Decoder — decode the Bearer token from your Authorization header.
- JSON Formatter — pretty-print the response body.
Privacy
All parsing runs in your browser. Tokens and credentials in your cURL command are never transmitted. Read our privacy policy.
Frequently asked
- Is my cURL command sent to a server?
- No. Parsing and code generation run 100% in your browser. Your cURL commands — including any tokens or credentials in headers — never leave your device.
- What languages does this tool support?
- JavaScript Fetch, Axios, Python (requests), PHP (cURL), Java (HttpClient), and Salesforce Apex. Select the target language from the tab bar above the output.
- Why does my cURL command fail to parse?
- Common issues: unbalanced quotes, missing backslashes on line continuations, or shell-specific syntax like #x27;...' strings. Try pasting the command as a single line, or use the Prettify button to normalize the formatting first.
- How do I convert a cURL command from browser DevTools?
- In Chrome or Firefox DevTools, right-click any network request → Copy → Copy as cURL. Paste the result directly into this tool. The tool handles the verbose output including all headers and cookies.
- Does the tool handle multipart form data?
- Yes. cURL -F flags are parsed and converted to the appropriate multipart/form-data construction in each target language.
