cURL to Code

Translate a cURL request into readable client code without executing or uploading it.

cURL command

Shell-aware parser · command is never executed

Generated request

Review credentials and client limits

const headers = new Headers();
headers.append("Authorization", "Bearer demo-token");
headers.append("Content-Type", "application/json");

const response = await fetch("https://api.example.dev/v1/projects", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: "{\n    \"name\": \"DevCrate\",\n    \"private\": true,\n    \"tags\": [\"tools\", \"local-first\"]\n  }",
  redirect: "follow"
});

if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.text();
console.log(data);

Tool documentation

Convert cURL to application code safely

Translate HTTP request intent without sending the command, URL, headers, credentials, or body to a conversion server.

100% Client-Side

Conversion runs locally in your browser.

No Payload Logging

Your tool input is never uploaded or logged.

Private by Design

Input stays on your device and is not persisted.

How to use

1
Paste a cURL request
Paste a command from API documentation or browser developer tools. DevCrate parses quotes, escapes, line continuations, repeated headers, authentication, request bodies, multipart forms, redirects, proxies, and timeouts.
2
Choose the target client
Switch between JavaScript Fetch, Python Requests, and C# HttpClient while preserving the source command.
3
Review warnings, then copy
Browser-controlled headers, proxies, disabled TLS verification, and source-file references are called out instead of being silently changed.

Technical details

Shell-aware, never shell-executed

The local tokenizer understands single and double quotes, escaped characters, and line continuations. It rejects shell operators and never evaluates substitutions or runs the command.

Intentional conversion contract

The converter supports common request options and returns a clear error for unknown flags. Response formatting and terminal-only flags are either documented as warnings or omitted when they cannot change the HTTP request.

Generated-code limitations

Generated code is a readable starting point. File placeholders, browser-forbidden headers, proxies, certificate settings, and application-specific response handling still need review before production use.

Privacy & security verification

Tokenization and code generation happen in browser memory. DevCrate does not execute the command, contact its URL, persist credentials, or send the payload to an API. Ordinary static page requests may still be logged by the site host, but they never contain your command.
