Can I paste cURL commands copied from Chrome DevTools?

Yes. Right-click any network request in Chrome or Firefox DevTools, select 'Copy > Copy as cURL', and paste it directly into this tool. It correctly strips terminal line breaks (\) and extracts headers and bodies.

Does this support multi-line commands with backslashes?

Yes. The parser normalizes trailing backslashes and multi-line strings into a single cohesive command token stream before generating code.

The problem: Translating terminal cURL commands from API docs or browser DevTools into application code is tedious and syntax error-prone.

cURL Command

const response = await fetch("https://api.example.com/v1/users", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer my-secret-token"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
      "name": "Alice Smith",
      "email": "alice@example.com",
      "role": "admin"
  }),
});
const result = await response.json();
console.log(result);

cURL to Fetch & Python Converter: the complete guide

A cURL to Fetch & Python converter translates terminal curl commands directly into idiomatic JavaScript fetch() calls or Python requests scripts. When testing REST APIs, reading backend documentation (Stripe, GitHub, Twilio), or copying network requests from Chrome/Firefox DevTools ('Copy as cURL'), developers receive complex terminal one-liners with escaped quotes, headers, and payload flags. Converting them manually into application code is tedious and prone to syntax bugs. This tool parses the method, URL, headers, and request body client-side, outputting clean, production-ready async/await code.

Handling JSON and Form Payloads Accurately

The converter automatically inspects the Content-Type header and payload format. For application/json requests or payloads with JSON structure, it cleanly parses the data into structured JavaScript objects or Python dictionaries using JSON.stringify(). For form-urlencoded payloads (such as OAuth token exchanges), it formats the body appropriately without string truncation or escaping errors.

Browser and Python Framework Compatibility

Generated JavaScript code uses modern, standard ECMAScript async/await fetch() syntax compatible with all modern browsers, Node.js 18+, Bun, Deno, and Next.js server actions. Generated Python code uses the ubiquitous requests library with clean dictionary headers, status code inspection, and error-tolerant JSON extraction.

Step by step: how to use cURL to Code

1
In your browser DevTools (Network tab) or API documentation, copy any cURL command.
2
Paste the cURL command into the input textarea.
3
Select your target language: JavaScript fetch() or Python requests.
4
Review the parsed and formatted code in the output panel.
5
Click 'Copy Code' to place the code directly into your clipboard.
6
Paste it directly into your frontend component, backend endpoint, or Python script.

Security & privacy

All command tokenization and translation occur entirely within your browser session. Your cURL commands — which may contain private API tokens, authorization bearer headers, customer cookies, or internal staging endpoints — are never transmitted to any external server or saved in logs.
