Does it handle POST data, JSON, and authentication?

Yes. JSON bodies (-d with a JSON payload or --json) become real Python dicts passed as json=, form data becomes a data= dictionary, basic auth (-u user:pass) becomes auth=(...), cookies (-b) become a cookies dict, and -F uploads become files=. Flags like -k map to verify=False and -L to following redirects.

Is my curl command uploaded anywhere?

No. The entire conversion runs locally in your browser using JavaScript — the command and any tokens or credentials in it never leave your machine and are never sent to a server.

Conversion Module

cURL to Python Converter

Paste any curl command and instantly get clean Python code for requests, httpx, or aiohttp.

Why use this tool?

Use this converter when you have a working curl command — from API docs, your browser's 'Copy as cURL', or a colleague — and need it as Python. It parses the flags for you and emits idiomatic code for requests, httpx, or aiohttp, correctly handling headers, JSON and form bodies, basic auth, and cookies so you don't translate them by hand.

cURL command

curl -X POST https://api.example.com/v1/users \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer token123" \
  -d '{"name": "Ada", "role": "admin"}'

import requests

url = "https://api.example.com/v1/users"
headers = {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer token123"
}
json_data = {
    "name": "Ada",
    "role": "admin"
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=json_data)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.text)

Runs entirely in your browser — the command is never uploaded. Supports headers, JSON & form bodies, basic auth (-u), cookies, multipart (-F), -k (verify=False) and -L (follow redirects).

About cURL to Python Converter

Developers constantly move between curl and Python: browser dev tools and most API references give you a curl command, but your automation, scraper, or integration is written in Python. Translating headers, request bodies, authentication, and flags like -k or -L by hand is tedious and error-prone.

This tool tokenizes the curl command exactly like a shell would — respecting quotes and backslash line-continuations — then rebuilds it as a normalized HTTP request. It detects the method, splits headers, parses JSON bodies into real Python dictionaries, converts form data, and maps basic auth (-u), cookies (-b), multipart uploads (-F), insecure mode (-k → verify=False), and redirects (-L).

You get ready-to-run output for three libraries: the ubiquitous requests, the modern sync/async httpx, and fully asynchronous aiohttp. Everything happens in your browser — the command is never uploaded to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Paste the curl command into the box and copy the generated Python. This tool parses the URL, method, headers, and body and produces requests code such as requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=json_data). Switch the output tab to also get httpx or aiohttp versions.
