cURL to Python / Go / Rust / Fetch Code

Overview

Paste a curl command and get equivalent request code for JavaScript fetch, Axios, Python requests, Go net/http, or Rust reqwest. The converter extracts the URL, the HTTP method, and a JSON payload from your command, then renders a complete, self-contained snippet in the language you select. Everything happens locally; nothing is executed or sent anywhere.

How It Works

Paste a curl command such as curl -X POST https://api.example.com/v1/projects -d '{...}' into the left panel. Choose the target language from the tabs above the output. The generated code appears immediately in the right panel: fetch and Axios produce async JavaScript, requests produces a Python script, net/http produces a Go main function, and reqwest produces a Rust async main. A copy button transfers the snippet to your clipboard.

Step-by-Step Usage Guide

1. Paste your curl command into the input panel.
2. Choose the target language tab: fetch, Axios, Python requests, Go, or Rust.
3. Read the generated snippet and replace the placeholder Authorization header with your real credentials.
4. Copy the code into your project and adjust the URL or body as needed.

Technical Specifications & Standards

This is a template generator over three extractions, and knowing that boundary keeps you out of trouble. The URL comes from the first quoted or bare token after curl and any -X method; the method is taken from -X, or inferred as POST when -d or --data is present, otherwise GET; the body is the first quoted argument to -d, --data, or --data-raw, with backslash line continuations tolerated. Notably, your command's own headers are not parsed: the generated snippets always contain placeholder Content-Type and Authorization headers with the literal text Bearer YOUR_TOKEN, so if your curl passed a real token you must paste it into the output yourself. Headers given with -H are simply not mapped into the target language's header object, and the extraction is not a full tokenizer, so exotic quoting can still confuse it. For a converter that preserves each -H header, the site also has the separate curl-to-fetch tool, which is a fuller parser; use that one when header fidelity matters. Here the value is speed: a correct skeleton in five languages, with the auth header as an explicit placeholder rather than a leaked secret.

Targeted Use Cases

• Translating an API documentation curl example into the language your service uses.
• Bootstrapping a test client for a new endpoint without writing boilerplate.
• Comparing how the same request is expressed in Go, Rust, and Python while learning HTTP client APIs.
• Converting a payload-bearing POST example from a blog post into runnable code.

Notes & Gotchas

• Never paste production secrets into any converter; this one replaces Authorization with a placeholder, which is the safe direction.
• Verify the inferred method when you rely on -d to imply POST; an explicit -X always wins.
• If your curl sets custom headers with -H, add them manually to the generated snippet; they are not transferred.
• Check JSON bodies for escaping differences between the shell quoting in curl and the target language's string syntax.
