cURL to Code Converter
Paste any curl command and get equivalent code in JavaScript (fetch/axios), Python, Go, and PHP.
const res = await fetch("https://api.example.com/v1/users", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer TOKEN",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: "{\"name\":\"Alex\",\"email\":\"a@x.com\"}",
});
const data = await res.text();About the cURL to Code Converter
The cURL to Code Converter takes any `curl` command — the kind you copy out of Chrome DevTools, Postman, an API docs page, or a StackOverflow answer — and rewrites it as ready-to-run code in JavaScript (fetch and axios), Python (requests), Go (net/http), and PHP (cURL bindings). It's the fastest way to move from 'I can reproduce this request in my terminal' to 'I've got it wired into my app'.
The tokenizer understands quoting, backslash line continuations, and the flags that actually change request semantics: `-X`/`--request`, `-H`/`--header`, `-d` / `--data` / `--data-raw` / `--data-binary`, `--data-urlencode`, `-u`/`--user` (which becomes a Basic auth header), and `--url`. Cosmetic flags like `-i`, `-v`, `-L`, `-k`, `--compressed` are safely ignored — they don't correspond to code changes in any of the target languages.
Great uses: onboarding a new API integration from the vendor's curl-first docs, migrating an ad-hoc shell script into a proper service, generating starter code for a new client library, and quickly translating requests between languages during a rewrite or platform migration. The generated code is deliberately dependency-minimal (fetch is standard library, requests / net-http / axios are one-liners) so you can drop it straight into a project.
