What Is the curl to Code Converter?

The curl to Code converter is a free online tool that transforms curl commands into equivalent code snippets in multiple programming languages. Paste a curl command from your terminal, API docs, or browser DevTools, and instantly get working code in Python (requests), JavaScript (fetch/axios), Go, PHP, Ruby, Java, and more.

When working with APIs, you often start with a curl command from documentation or network inspection. Translating that into your language of choice manually is tedious and error-prone — especially with complex headers, authentication, request bodies, and query parameters. This curl to Python, JavaScript, and other language converter handles all of that automatically.

Everything runs in your browser. Your API keys, tokens, and request data never leave your machine.

How to Convert curl to Code

  1. Paste your curl command — Copy a curl command from your terminal, API documentation, or browser DevTools ("Copy as cURL") and paste it into the input field.
  2. Select your target language — Choose from Python, JavaScript, Go, PHP, Ruby, Java, and other supported languages.
  3. Review the generated code — The tool parses your curl command and generates idiomatic code with proper HTTP method, headers, request body, authentication, and query parameters.
  4. Copy and use — Click "Copy" to copy the code to your clipboard, ready to paste into your project.

Key Features

  • Multiple language support — Convert curl to Python (requests), JavaScript (fetch, axios), Go (net/http), PHP, Ruby, Java, and more.
  • Full curl parsing — Handles headers (-H), data (-d, --data), methods (-X), auth (-u), cookies, and multipart forms.
  • Idiomatic output — Generated code follows language-specific conventions and uses popular libraries (e.g., requests for Python, fetch for JavaScript).
  • Syntax highlighting — Output code is syntax-highlighted for easy reading and review.
  • 100% client-side — Your curl commands and API credentials never leave your browser.

Common Use Cases

  • API integration — Convert API documentation examples (usually in curl) into your project's language to speed up integration work.
  • Browser DevTools — Right-click a network request in Chrome/Firefox → "Copy as cURL" → paste here to get the equivalent code in your language.
  • Language migration — Quickly translate HTTP requests when porting code between languages or frameworks.
  • Learning APIs — Understand how curl options map to programming language constructs like headers, auth, and request bodies.
  • Documentation — Generate code examples in multiple languages from a single curl command for your API documentation.
