How to Convert Curl to Python

Three simple steps to convert any curl command to Python requests code

1

Copy Your Curl Command

Copy a curl command from your browser DevTools (Network tab → right-click → Copy as cURL), API documentation, or terminal history.

2

Paste & Convert

Paste the curl command into the input box. The converter instantly parses headers, cookies, data, auth, and all other options in real time.

3

Copy or Download

Copy the generated Python requests code to your clipboard with one click, or download it as a .py file ready to run in your Python environment.

Supported Curl Options

  • HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD
  • Custom headers (-H)
  • Request body (-d, --data, --json)
  • Form uploads (-F)
  • Cookies (-b, Cookie header)
  • Basic authentication (-u)
  • Proxy support (-x)
  • SSL skip (-k) and follow redirects (-L)
  • Multi-line curl with backslash continuation

Common Use Cases

Reproduce API calls from DevTools: Copy a curl command from Chrome or Firefox Network tab and convert it to Python for scripting and automation.

Convert API documentation examples: Many API docs provide curl examples. Convert them to Python requests code to integrate into your applications.

Debug REST APIs: Test and debug API endpoints by converting curl test commands to Python scripts with proper error handling.

Build Python scrapers: Capture browser requests as curl commands and convert them to Python for web scraping workflows.

Automate HTTP requests: Convert Postman or Insomnia exports (which support curl format) into Python automation scripts.

How to Copy Curl from Chrome DevTools

  1. Open Chrome DevTools (F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I)
  2. Go to the Network tab
  3. Perform the action that triggers the request
  4. Right-click the request → Copy as cURL
  5. Paste into the converter above

Manual Conversion: Curl to Python Requests

If you prefer to convert manually, the Python requests library maps closely to curl options. A basic curl URL becomes requests.get(url). Headers set with -H 'Key: Value' become a headers dict. POST data with -d becomes the data parameter, or json if sending JSON. Authentication with -u user:pass becomes auth=(user, pass). This tool automates all of these mappings so you can focus on writing your application logic instead of tediously translating curl flags to Python parameters.
