Convert cURL to Python

Transform cURL commands into production-ready Python code instantly. Our converter supports both the popular Requests library and Python’s built-in HTTP client.

Quick Example

Convert this cURL command:

curl -X POST https://api.example.com/users \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"name":"John Doe","email":"[email protected]"}'

Into Python (Requests):

import requests

url = "https://api.example.com/users"
headers = {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
}
data = {
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "[email protected]"
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

Why Use Python Requests?

✅ Simple & Pythonic - Clean, readable syntax
✅ Battle-tested - 50M+ downloads/month
✅ Feature-rich - Sessions, cookies, auth built-in
✅ JSON support - Automatic encoding/decoding

Common Use Cases

GET Request with Query Parameters

curl "https://api.example.com/search?q=python&limit=10"

Converts to:

import requests

url = "https://api.example.com/search"
params = {
    "q": "python",
    "limit": "10"
}

response = requests.get(url, params=params)

File Upload

curl -X POST https://api.example.com/upload \
  -F "[email protected]" \
  -F "category=reports"

Converts to:

import requests

url = "https://api.example.com/upload"
files = {
    'file': open('document.pdf', 'rb')
}
data = {
    'category': 'reports'
}

response = requests.post(url, files=files, data=data)
