Turn a cURL command into fetch()
API documentation and browser tools give you cURL commands, but browser and Node code use fetch(). This tool converts a cURL command into a JavaScript fetch() snippet, so you can move quickly from a command line example to working code.
Why the conversion helps
A cURL command and a fetch() call express the same HTTP request in different syntaxes, the method, headers, and body all map across, but translating them by hand means parsing cURL’s flags and rebuilding them as a fetch options object. The converter does that translation, turning the URL, method, headers and JSON body of a cURL command into the equivalent fetch call. It is a basic conversion covering the common cases; unusual cURL flags may need manual handling, but for the typical request it saves the fiddly transcription.
From command to code
It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you paste is uploaded and the result is yours to copy straight into a project. Because it works client-side, you can use it on private code and data without anything leaving your machine.
