Convert cURL commands into Fetch, Axios, or Python Requests code.

Convert cURL to Code

This cURL converter turns API examples into JavaScript Fetch, Axios, or Python Requests snippets.

Conversion runs locally in your browser, so pasted authorization headers, cookies, and API keys are not sent to a server.

Supported input

It uses curlconverter to support common curl arguments, Bash quoting, multiline commands, headers, cookies, request bodies, forms, and conversion warnings.

When to use it

Use this tool when API documentation provides a cURL example and you need application code for a frontend, Node.js script, backend service, or Python automation task.

Convert POST requests with JSON bodies
Keep headers, cookies, and authentication options visible
Translate multiline terminal examples into reusable code
Review parser warnings before pasting generated code into a project

File uploads

File upload conversions may include placeholders or warnings because browser Fetch code cannot read local file paths from a cURL command. Node.js and Python outputs can reference local files, while browser code usually needs a File object from an upload input or drag-and-drop flow.

How to use cURL to Code Converter

Use this converter when an API doc gives you a cURL command but your project needs Fetch, Axios, or Python Requests code. It saves the boring part of translating headers and request bodies.

Developers often use this page when they need curl converter, curl converter python, curl converter to postman, and convert curl to fetch.

Privacy and data handling

This converter is intended for local request debugging and code generation in your browser.

Normal use does not require sending cURL commands to a server.
Remove API keys, bearer tokens, cookies, and private URLs before converting or sharing output.
Generated code may include copied headers, so review it before committing.

Examples

Convert cURL to Fetch

Input

curl -X POST https://api.example.com/users \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Ada"}'

Output

fetch("https://api.example.com/users", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ name: "Ada" })
});

Replace real API keys before sharing generated request code.

Steps

1Paste the full cURL command, including headers and body data.
2Choose the target language or client.
3Copy the generated snippet and test it with safe sample credentials.

Common use cases

Turn API documentation examples into application code.
Convert a command from browser devtools into a script.
Compare how the same request looks in Fetch, Axios, and Python.

Practical tips

Replace API keys and bearer tokens before sharing generated code.
Check whether cookies or compressed headers are really needed.
For production code, move secrets into environment variables.

FAQ

Can cURL be converted to JavaScript Fetch?

Yes. The command can be parsed into method, URL, headers, and body, then rewritten as a Fetch request.

Should I paste real API tokens?

No. Use test tokens or remove secrets before pasting. Even browser tools should be treated carefully when working with credentials.
