cURL to Code Converter

Convert cURL commands to Python, JavaScript, Go, and PHP code — paste and convert instantly

All processing happens in your browser. No data is sent to any server.

You copied a cURL command from your browser’s DevTools Network tab and need to reproduce the same request in your Python script or JavaScript app. Manually translating headers, cookies, data, and flags is tedious and error-prone. This tool parses cURL commands and generates equivalent code in Python, JavaScript, Go, and PHP — instantly.

Supported curl Flags

The parser handles the most common curl flags:

FlagDescription
-X, --requestHTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.)
-H, --headerRequest headers
-d, --data, --data-rawRequest body
--data-urlencodeURL-encoded form data
-u, --userBasic authentication (user:password)
-b, --cookieCookie string
-L, --locationFollow redirects
-k, --insecureSkip SSL verification
-F, --formMultipart form data
--compressedAccept gzip encoding
-A, --user-agentUser-Agent header
-e, --refererReferer header
-I, --headHEAD request method

Output Languages

Python (requests) — Uses the popular requests library. Outputs clean code with headers as a dict, JSON detection, and session setup for cookies.

JavaScript (fetch) — Modern browser/Node.js fetch() API. Handles headers, body, method, and credentials mode.

Go (net/http) — Standard library net/http package. Generates idiomatic Go code with proper error handling structure.

PHP (cURL) — Native PHP curl_* functions. Sets all CURLOPT constants for the detected options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn’t my converted code match the server response? Check headers — particularly Content-Type, Accept, and authentication headers. If the server returns 401 or 403, ensure Authorization headers or cookies are correctly transcribed.

How do I get a cURL command from Chrome/Firefox DevTools? In Chrome: Open DevTools (F12) → Network tab → right-click any request → “Copy” → “Copy as cURL”. In Firefox: right-click the request → “Copy Value” → “Copy as cURL”.

Does the converter handle multiline cURL commands? Yes. Multi-line commands using backslash line continuation are joined before parsing.

Are environment variables in cURL commands handled? No. Variables like $TOKEN in headers are left as-is in the output. Replace them with actual values or your language’s equivalent variable reference.
