Paste a cURL command, get a runnable requests.request() call. Parsed locally, nothing is uploaded.

 
  
 
 
 
  
 
 
How the conversion works
 
The input is tokenized the way a POSIX shell would read it: single quotes, double quotes, $'…' strings and backslash line continuations are resolved before any flag is interpreted. Each flag is then mapped onto the equivalent argument of requests.request().
A body that parses as JSON is emitted as a Python dict passed to json=, so requests sets the Content-Type header and serializes it for you. Any other body is passed verbatim to data=.

cURL flagPython requestsNotes
   
 -X, --request method argument Defaults to POST when a body is present, otherwise GET. 
 -H, --header headers={…} Content-Type is dropped when json= is used. 
 -d, --data-raw json= or data= JSON is detected from content, not only from the header. 
 -u, --user auth=(user, pass) Sent as HTTP Basic. 
 -b, --cookie Cookie header Passed through unchanged. 
 -k, --insecure verify=False Disables TLS verification. Avoid outside testing.

FAQ
 
 
   How do I convert a cURL command to Python requests?  
Paste the command into the left pane. The converter maps -X to the HTTP method, each -H to a headers dict entry, and -d to json= (when the body is valid JSON) or data= otherwise.
 
   Can I copy a cURL command from Chrome DevTools?  
Yes. In the Network tab, right-click a request and choose Copy > Copy as cURL. Both bash and cmd variants are accepted.
 
   Is my request sent to a server?  
No. Conversion runs in your browser. Authorization headers and tokens in the pasted command never leave the page.
