How do I convert a cURL command to Python requests?

Paste the command into the Paste a cURL command box and choose Python (requests) as the target. Headers, basic auth and JSON bodies are mapped to requests arguments, and you can copy the code or download it as request.py.

Which languages can a cURL command be converted to?

JavaScript (fetch), JavaScript (axios), Node.js, Python (requests), PHP (cURL), Go (net/http) and PowerShell.

Can I paste a multi-line cURL command copied from browser dev tools?

Yes. Commands with backslash continuations, quoted headers, JSON bodies and basic auth are parsed. The input must start with curl, otherwise the tool reports that it does not look like a cURL command.

How do I remove my API token from the generated code?

Turn on Redact secrets. Detected credentials such as auth headers, cookies and API keys are replaced with placeholders, and a summary lists what was replaced. If nothing is detected, the tool says so.

Why was a cURL flag ignored in my converted code?

Flags with no equivalent in the generated code, such as output-to-file options, are skipped, and a warning names them. A flag that reads a file from disk keeps the path, so change it to match your machine.

Yes. Every tool is free to use, with no account and no credit card. The work runs on your device rather than on our servers, which is what keeps it free to run.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. It runs in current mobile browsers on iOS and Android, with nothing to install.

How It Works

Copying a cURL command out of API docs or your browser's network tab and rewriting it by hand is tedious. This converter parses the command and generates equivalent code — and because it can carry auth tokens, it never sends your command anywhere.

1
You paste a cURL command
Including multi-line commands with backslash continuations, quoted headers, JSON bodies, and basic auth.
2
A shell-aware tokenizer parses it
The command is tokenized respecting single/double quotes and escapes, then each flag (-X, -H, -d, -F, -u, and more) is interpreted — all in your browser.
3
Equivalent code is generated
Choose JavaScript (fetch), Node.js, Python (requests), or Go (net/http). JSON bodies are emitted as native objects where it makes sense.
4
Copy and paste into your project
The generated code is ready to use; copy it with one click.

cURL commands frequently contain bearer tokens, API keys, and cookies. Many online converters POST your command to a server to process it. This one parses everything locally, so your secrets never leave the page.
