¿Qué hace cURL → Code?
cURL → Code permite convertir datos o archivos directamente en el navegador y explica con claridad el resultado y sus límites. Capacidades verificadas: JavaScript Fetch output, Python Requests output, Visible conversion warnings, Self-hosted browser parser WASM.
When should you use this tool?
Use this tool to start a client implementation from a cURL example. Use URL Encoder to inspect query components and JSON Formatter to inspect request bodies. Test generated code only in the intended runtime after reviewing warnings.
¿Cómo se utiliza?
- Paste a cURL command or open a local .txt or .sh file.
- Select JavaScript Fetch or Python Requests and choose Run.
- Review warnings, credentials, headers, and body handling before copying or downloading the generated code.
Ejemplo real de entrada y salida
Convert a basic GET request to Fetch
Entrada
curl 'https://example.com/api' -H 'Accept: application/json'Salida
fetch('https://example.com/api', {
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json'
}
});The converter writes source text. No request to example.com is sent, and the generated code is not executed.
Errores frecuentes y soluciones
| Síntoma | Causa probable | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| A command cannot be parsed. | The input is not supported cURL shell syntax or has unbalanced quotes. | Paste a complete cURL command and check quotes; PowerShell and CMD syntax may need conversion to Bash-style syntax. |
| Generated Fetch code behaves differently from cURL. | Browser CORS, restricted headers, credentials, and unsupported cURL flags do not have identical semantics. | Review visible warnings and adjust the code for its actual runtime; formatting success is not an HTTP execution test. |
Supported behavior and limitations
Límite específico de esta herramienta: This tool does not bypass CORS, execute commands, access referenced files, verify endpoints, or guarantee semantic equivalence. Shell substitutions may become placeholders or target-language expressions and require review. Tokens remain visible in the generated code; copying or downloading preserves them. Input is capped at 64 KiB.

cURL → Code — FAQ
Is my input uploaded?
No. Processing happens in a browser Worker. Engine files load from this website; tool input, output, and filenames are not sent to a processing API.
Do I need an account or API key?
No account, API key, or backend processing service is needed.
How do I save a result?
Review the result, then use the Copy or Download control available for that output. Modifying input clears stale results.
What are the limits?
