Supported Features

  • HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH)
  • Custom headers (-H)
  • Request body (-d, --data, --data-raw)
  • Basic authentication (-u)
  • Multiline commands with backslash
  • JSON body detection

How to Convert cURL to Code

  1. 1

    Paste Your cURL Command

    Copy a cURL command from your terminal, browser DevTools (right-click a network request and select 'Copy as cURL'), or API documentation, then paste it into the input field.
  2. 2

    Select Your Target Language

    Choose the programming language you need from the dropdown menu. Supported languages include JavaScript (Fetch API), Python (Requests), PHP, Go, Ruby, and Node.js.
  3. 3

    Click Convert

    Press the Convert button to instantly generate production-ready code. The converter parses HTTP methods, headers, request bodies, and authentication details automatically.
  4. 4

    Copy and Use the Output

    Review the generated code in the output panel. Click the Copy button to copy the snippet to your clipboard, then paste it directly into your project.

Common Use Cases

1

API Integration Development

When building integrations with third-party APIs, documentation often provides cURL examples. Convert these directly to your application's language instead of manually rewriting HTTP requests.
2

Browser DevTools to Code

Chrome and Firefox let you copy any network request as a cURL command. Use this converter to turn that captured request into working code for debugging or reproducing issues programmatically.
3

Team Collaboration

Share API requests as cURL commands across your team regardless of each member's preferred language. Everyone can convert the same cURL snippet into Python, JavaScript, Go, or whatever stack they use.
4

Learning HTTP Internals

See how the same HTTP request is expressed in different languages. Comparing the generated code side by side is an effective way to learn HTTP client libraries across multiple ecosystems.

Why Use cURL to Code Converter?

Converting cURL commands to actual code is a common task when working with APIs. This tool saves time by automatically generating production-ready code in your preferred language. Perfect for developers who test APIs with cURL and need to implement the same requests in their applications.

The cURL to Code Converter transforms cURL commands into clean, production-ready code for six popular programming languages. Whether you copied a request from HAR files, browser DevTools, or API docs, this tool parses every flag and outputs idiomatic code you can drop straight into your project.

Developers frequently work with cURL during API testing and prototyping, but translating those commands into application code by hand is tedious and error-prone. This converter handles HTTP methods, custom headers, JSON request bodies, and Basic Authentication automatically. Pair it with the JSON Formatter to inspect and clean up response payloads, or use the JWT Decoder to verify tokens returned by authenticated endpoints.

All processing runs entirely in your browser. No data leaves your machine, which means API keys, tokens, and sensitive payloads remain private. There are no usage limits and no sign-up required. For the reverse workflow, converting collections into cURL, check out the Postman to cURL converter or the URL Encoder/Decoder for encoding query parameters.

How It Compares

Unlike many online cURL converters that send your command to a server for parsing, FindUtils processes everything client-side in your browser. This means credentials, API keys, and private endpoints never leave your machine. The generated code uses each language's standard HTTP library rather than wrapping calls in generic utilities, so the output is idiomatic and production-ready.

Compared to IDE extensions and CLI tools like curlconverter, this browser-based approach requires zero installation. You get instant results across JavaScript Fetch, Python Requests, PHP cURL, Go net/http, Ruby net/http, and Node.js https without switching contexts or installing additional dependencies.

Tips for Better Results

1
Use the 'Copy as cURL' feature in Chrome or Firefox DevTools to get accurately formatted commands.
2
For multiline cURL commands, the converter handles backslash line continuations automatically.
3
Include all necessary headers in your cURL command so the generated code is complete and ready to use.
4
If your cURL command includes Basic Auth with -u, the converter translates it to the language-native authentication pattern.
5
Test the generated code with a simple GET request first to verify your environment has the required libraries installed.

FAQ

1

Which programming languages are supported?

Currently supports JavaScript (Fetch API), Python (Requests library), PHP (cURL), Go (net/http), Ruby (net/http), and Node.js (https module).
2

Does it support all cURL options?

The converter supports the most common options including -X (method), -H (headers), -d/--data (body), and -u (basic auth). Complex options like cookies and certificates are not fully supported yet.
3

Is my data processed securely?

Yes, all processing happens in your browser. No data is sent to any server. Your cURL commands and API credentials stay completely private.
4

Can I convert cURL commands copied from Chrome DevTools?

Absolutely. Right-click any request in the Network tab, select 'Copy as cURL', and paste the result directly into the converter. It handles Chrome's multiline format and all standard flags.
5

Does the converter support JSON request bodies?

Yes. When your cURL command includes a JSON body via -d or --data-raw, the converter detects the JSON content type and formats the body properly in the generated code, including correct serialization for each language.
