Your Data Stays Private
All curl parsing and code generation happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your API keys, authentication tokens, and request data are never uploaded to any server, stored, or transmitted. This tool works offline after the page loads—perfect for converting sensitive API calls and internal endpoints.
How to Use the Curl Converter
- Choose an output format—select "JavaScript Fetch", "Axios", or "Python Requests" using the toggle at the top.
- Paste your curl command into the input panel on the left. You can also click "Load Sample" to try an example, or use "Paste from Clipboard" to paste directly.
- View the generated code instantly on the right panel. The output updates in real time as you type or edit.
- Fix any errors if the parser detects invalid curl syntax. A clear error message below the input will tell you exactly what went wrong.
- Copy the output using the "Copy Output" button, then paste it into your code editor or project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is curl?▼
curl is a command-line tool for transferring data using various network protocols, most commonly HTTP and HTTPS. It's available on virtually every operating system and is widely used by developers to test APIs, download files, and debug network requests. Browser DevTools often provide "Copy as cURL" to export any network request as a curl command.
What output formats are supported?▼
This tool generates code in three popular formats: JavaScript fetch (the built-in browser API), Axios (a popular HTTP client for Node.js and browsers), and Python requests (the most popular Python HTTP library). Each output includes proper handling of headers, request body, authentication, and other curl options.
Is my data uploaded to any server?▼
No, absolutely not. All parsing and code generation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your curl commands—including any API keys, tokens, passwords, or sensitive URLs they contain—never leave your device. Nothing is sent to any server, stored, or logged.
How do I get a curl command from browser DevTools?▼
In Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, open DevTools (F12), go to the Network tab, and right-click on any request. Select "Copy" → "Copy as cURL". This copies the full curl command with all headers, cookies, and body data. Then paste it into this tool to generate equivalent code in your preferred language.
