About the curl to Code Converter

Every API documentation page gives you a curl command. This turns one into the language you are actually writing in: JavaScript with fetch or axios, Python with requests, PHP with cURL or Guzzle, Go with net/http, or Ruby with Net::HTTP.

The parsing is a real shell tokeniser rather than a set of regular expressions, so quoted values containing spaces, escaped quotes, and line continuations in bash, cmd or PowerShell all survive. Method, headers, JSON and form bodies, basic auth, multipart fields, -G query conversion and the common flags are all read. Anything it cannot represent is listed rather than dropped silently — including --insecure, which is deliberately not reproduced.

Key features of the curl to Code Converter

A real shell tokeniser

Quoted values with spaces, escaped quotes and line continuations in bash, cmd and PowerShell all survive parsing.

Seven targets

fetch, axios, Python requests, PHP cURL, Guzzle, Go net/http and Ruby Net::HTTP — plus a tidied version of the curl command itself.

Bodies converted properly

A JSON body becomes a native literal, with Python getting True, False and None rather than the JSON spellings.

Nothing dropped silently

Flags with no equivalent are listed as ignored, so you know what the generated code does not do.

The parse is shown

Method, URL, headers and body are displayed as read, so a misparse is visible before you run anything.
