Frequently Asked Questions
What curl options are supported?
The converter supports common curl options including -X (method), -H (headers), -d/--data/--data-raw (request body), and URL parsing. Complex curl features like file uploads or cookies are not yet supported.
How accurate is the code conversion?
The converter generates idiomatic code for each language using standard libraries (fetch for JS, requests for Python, curl for PHP, net/http for Go). The output should work directly in most cases.
Can I convert code back to curl?
Yes, use the "Build cURL" tab to visually construct a curl command by entering the URL, method, headers, and body. The tool generates the corresponding curl command.
Where do I find curl commands to convert?
Most API documentation includes curl examples. You can also copy curl commands from browser DevTools: open the Network tab, right-click any request, and select "Copy as cURL." This captures the full request including headers, cookies, and body, which you can then paste into this converter.
