cURL to Code Converter
Locally parses a pasted cURL command without executing it and converts its URL, method, headers, and body to JavaScript fetch, Python requests, PHP cURL, or Node.js fetch. Generated code does not authenticate credentials; remove secrets before sharing.
✓ Free✓ No account✓ In-browser
QUICK ANSWER
What does this tool do?
Generate JavaScript, Python, PHP, and Node.js code drafts from a cURL command.
Parse only
ByteQuant never executes the command or calls its URL. Remove Authorization, Cookie, and API-key values before sharing.
Enter a valid cURL command.

cURL to Code Converter: method and usage
Locally parses a pasted cURL command without executing it and converts its URL, method, headers, and body to JavaScript fetch, Python requests, PHP cURL, or Node.js fetch. Generated code does not authenticate credentials; remove secrets before sharing.

Practical steps
- Paste a cURL command containing safe example values.
- Parse it locally and choose a target language; no network request is sent.
- Copy the draft and add project-specific error handling, timeouts, and secret management.
comparison with the current standard and real server behavior in an authorized test environment
Verify schema, encoding, and data-loss assumptions in the target system.
Suitable use cases
- Prototyping API documentation
- Moving requests between languages
- Reviewing a cURL request as readable code
Worked decision record
Convert a cURL example from API documentation into a JavaScript `fetch` draft and verify the URL, method, headers, and body.
Use a command that POSTs to synthetic `https://api.example.test/items` with a JSON `Content-Type` header and `{"name":"demo"}` body; include no real access token.
Generated code shows the same method, URL, header, and JSON body; the command is not executed and no network request is made.
Do not run the code if shell variables, file uploads, certificate options, or complex redirects disappear silently; implement the missing behavior explicitly in the target language.
