cURL to Code Converter
Convert cURL commands to JavaScript (fetch), Python (requests), and PHP (curl) code instantly. Paste a cURL command and get working code. Free tool.
Why Convert cURL to Code?
cURL commands are commonly found in API documentation, but integrating them into your code requires manual translation. Our converter automates this process, generating clean, ready-to-use code in JavaScript (fetch API), Python (requests library), and PHP (curl extension) — saving you time and reducing errors in API integration.
Key Features
- Three output languages: JavaScript (fetch), Python (requests), PHP (curl)
- Handles headers, POST data, authentication, and custom methods
- Parsed cURL command overview with badges
How to Use
- Paste your cURL command into the input field
- Select your target language tab (JavaScript, Python, or PHP)
- Copy the generated code and use it in your project
Technical Details
The cURL parser tokenizes the command respecting quoted strings, then processes flags like -X (method), -H (headers), -d (data), and -u (auth). The JavaScript generator uses the Fetch API with async/await patterns. Python uses the requests library. PHP uses the curl extension with curl_setopt. Basic auth is converted to base64 for JS and native auth for Python/PHP.
FAQ
What cURL flags are supported?
The converter supports -X/--request, -H/--header, -d/--data/--data-raw, -u/--user, and basic URL specification. Complex flags like --connect-timeout are not yet supported.
Is the generated code production-ready?
The generated code provides a functional starting point. You may want to add error handling, environment variables for URLs, and proper configuration for production use.
