Guide: curl → code (fetch, Axios, Node)

↑ Back to tool

What is this tool?

Paste a curl command and get idiomatic JavaScript or Node.js snippets: fetch(), Axios, node-fetch style, or legacy request (deprecated). The page parses method, URL, headers, JSON or raw bodies, basic auth, and cookies—then emits copy-ready code. Handy when docs or DevTools give you curl and your app speaks HTTP in JS/TS.

Why use it

Translating long curl examples by hand is slow and error-prone. This tool standardizes structure (headers object, JSON.stringify for JSON bodies) so you can drop the result into React, serverless handlers, or scripts—then adjust types, env vars for secrets, and error handling.

Output formats

  • Fetch API — Browser and modern Node patterns.
  • Axios — config-style calls when your stack already uses axios.
  • Node — Common require/import style output for server-side scripts.

How to use

  1. Paste curl (multi-line is fine). Load sample to see shape.
  2. Pick the target format tab.
  3. Copy output; replace secrets with env vars before committing.

Limits

Complex curl flags (custom TLS, HTTP/3 quirks, chained operations) may not map 1:1—treat output as a starting point. For comparing two curls structurally, use curl compare.

FAQ

Does curl leave my browser?

Conversion is client-side. The generated code only runs if you execute it yourself elsewhere.

Can I convert to Python?

This page targets JS/Node outputs. Use your IDE or another converter for other languages.

Core: curl to fetch, curl to javascript, curl to axios, convert curl to code online, curl command to node fetch.

APIs: openapi to client stub (workflow), postman curl export convert, devtools copy as curl then convert.

Security: redact bearer token after paste, never commit secrets in snippet.

Pair with JWT decode and JSON format when debugging auth payloads.

Conclusion

Use curl → code when you have a working HTTP example in shell form and need the same call in JavaScript quickly—then refine for production (timeouts, retries, typing).
