Convert cURL Commands to Python (Requests & Httpx)

Convert cURL terminal commands into clean, executable Python requests and async httpx scripts.

About This Tool

cURL to Python Converter translates command-line cURL statements into idiomatic Python code, extracting HTTP methods, URLs, headers, and JSON payloads into clean requests or httpx snippets.

Key Features

Supports Python Requests (synchronous)
Supports Python HTTPX (modern async/await)
Extracts headers, methods, and JSON request bodies
Handles multi-line cURL backslashes automatically

How to Use This Tool

  1. Paste any cURL command (including multi-line commands with backslashes).
  2. Choose your preferred library: Python Requests (sync) or HTTPX (async).
  3. Copy the generated, ready-to-execute Python code.

Why Use This Tool

  • Saves time translating API documentation cURL examples into backend Python services and scripts.
  • Properly formats JSON payloads and authorization headers.

Pro Tips

  • Use response.raise_for_status() in Python to automatically raise exceptions for 4xx and 5xx responses
