How to Convert cURL Commands to Fetch, Python Requests, Axios & Go Code
Extract headers, authentication tokens, JSON payloads, and query parameters from raw cURL commands and transform them into idiomatic code.

cURL: The Universal API Documentation Format
Whether you are reading Stripe, OpenAI, Twilio, or GitHub API documentation, API endpoints are almost universally presented as cURL command-line invocations.
Furthermore, modern web browsers allow you to right-click any network request in Chrome or Firefox DevTools (Network tab → Copy → **Copy as cURL**) to capture exact HTTP headers, session cookies, and request bodies. Converting these raw CLI commands into production frontend or backend code by hand is tedious and error-prone.

A client-side cURL parser decomposes command tokens into structured HTTP options:
- `-X, --request` → Maps to HTTP Method (`GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `DELETE`)
- `-H, --header` → Appends key-value pairs to the request headers dictionary
- `-d, --data, --data-raw` → Formats JSON payload or URL-encoded form body
- `-u, --user` → Generates Basic Authentication `Authorization: Basic <base64>` header
- `-b, --cookie` → Injects session cookie headers
Sample Complex cURL Command
curl -X POST https://api.example.com/v1/checkout \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_99214" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"items": [{"id": "prod_1", "qty": 2}], "currency": "usd"}'100% In-Browser Privacy Sandbox
