About the curl → fetch / axios / Python / Go / Node
curl commands are the lingua franca of API documentation, but you almost never deploy a shell script — you deploy code. This tool converts any curl command to idiomatic code in 5 popular languages/libraries, so you can skip the transcription step when moving from 'works in my terminal' to 'works in my app.'
Features
- 5 target languages / libraries
- Handles -X -H -d --data --data-raw --data-binary -F --form -u
- Auto-sets POST when -d is present
- Preserves headers, basic auth, form data
- Shell-safe tokenizer — handles line-continuation backslashes and nested quotes
How it works
- Paste a curl command (copy from Chrome DevTools, Postman, etc.).
- Pick the target language.
- Copy the generated code.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I paste curl commands from?
+
Chrome DevTools → Network tab → right-click a request → Copy → Copy as cURL. Same works in Firefox, Safari, and Postman.
Does it handle multipart uploads?
+
Yes — -F / --form arguments are converted to FormData (fetch) or files= (Python). Binary file uploads are declared; you still need to populate file contents in your code.
Which Python library?
+
requests, because it's the de-facto standard. We can add httpx and aiohttp if asked.
Why does my output look wrong?
+
Most commonly: the curl command has unusual flags we don't handle (most HTTP bodies, auth, and headers are covered; TLS client certs and HTTP/2 settings are not). File an issue with the exact command.
Is my request sent anywhere?
+
No. Parsing and conversion are purely client-side.
