About this ToolHow it works, benefits & use casesTap to collapse
Paste a cURL command and this converter rewrites it as an HTTP request in the language you actually ship. It runs a shell-aware tokenizer over the command — joining `\` line continuations, handling single quotes, double quotes with backslash escapes, and bare tokens — then maps the request onto eight targets: JavaScript Fetch, Axios, Python Requests, PHP cURL, Go net/http, Ruby Net::HTTP, the Java HttpClient, and Rust reqwest. It understands more than the URL and method: `-H` headers, `-d`/`--data-raw` bodies, `--data-urlencode` (with the matching form content-type), `-u` basic auth (base64-encoded into an Authorization header), cookies, user-agent, and referer flags. A live stats strip shows the parsed method, header count, whether a body and auth are present, and how many query parameters are in the URL. Conversion happens as you type, entirely in the browser.
How to Use
- 1Pick a Target language from the dropdown (Fetch, Axios, Python, PHP, Go, Ruby, Java, or Rust).
- 2Paste your cURL command into the input — multi-line commands with `\` continuations are fine, or click "Load example" to start from a sample POST.
- 3Watch the generated code update live, and check the stats strip for the parsed method, header count, body, auth, and query-param totals.
- 4Click "Convert to <language>" to confirm the command parsed cleanly (it surfaces an error if no URL was found).
- 5Copy the result, download it with the correct file extension, or share the input via URL.
Key Benefits
- Eight output targets from one command: Fetch, Axios, Python, PHP, Go, Ruby, Java, Rust
- Shell-aware parsing handles single/double quotes, backslash escapes, and `\` line continuations
- Decodes `-u` basic auth into a base64 Authorization header automatically
- Recognises `--data-urlencode` and sets the matching form content-type
- Pulls in cookies, user-agent, and referer flags as headers
- Live stats: method, header count, body present, auth present, query-param count
- Downloads with the right extension per language (.js, .py, .php, .go, .rb, .java, .rs)
Common Use Cases
- Turning a cURL example from API docs into your project language
- Converting a request copied from browser DevTools "Copy as cURL" into Fetch or Axios
- Porting a shell script of API calls into a Python or Go client
- Learning how the same request maps across HTTP client libraries
- Reproducing a teammate's reported request in a different stack to debug it
Conversion options
Multi-line commands with `\\` continuations are accepted.

It outputs JavaScript Fetch, JavaScript Axios, Python Requests, PHP cURL, Go net/http, Ruby Net::HTTP, the Java 11+ HttpClient, and Rust reqwest. Switching the Target language dropdown regenerates the code instantly from the same parsed command.
Yes. `-u user:pass` (basic auth) is base64-encoded into an Authorization: Basic header, and `-b`/`--cookie`, `-A`/`--user-agent`, and `-e`/`--referer` flags are mapped to their corresponding request headers. The stats strip flags whether auth is present.
