Convert cURL to Python Requests

1. Paste one HTTP or HTTPS cURL command, or select Load example.

2. Select Convert to Python. If an option is unsupported, the converter identifies it and leaves the output empty for manual review.

3. Review and copy the code. Install Requests in your Python environment, then run the request only when you are ready to contact its destination.

The output adds a five-second connection timeout and a 30-second read timeout. These are starting values, not a total task deadline. Choose limits for your application; see the Requests timeout documentation.

Input example:

curl 'https://example.com/api/products' \
  --json '{"category":"office","limit":3}'

Generated Python:

import requests

url = "https://example.com/api/products"
headers = {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Accept": "application/json",
}
body = '{"category":"office","limit":3}'

response = requests.request(
    "POST", url,
    headers=headers,
    data=body.encode("utf-8"),
    timeout=(5, 30),
    allow_redirects=False,
)
response.raise_for_status()
print(response.text)

The example uses a fictional endpoint. The converter preserves the inline JSON text as the request body and adds JSON headers.

Input	Python output or behavior
One HTTP/HTTPS URL; --url	Request URL
-X, --request	Explicit HTTP method
-H, --header	Header dictionary
Inline -d, --data, --data-raw, --data-binary	UTF-8 request body
--data-urlencode name=value	Encoded form data, or query values with --get
One --json body	Validated JSON text plus default JSON headers
-G, --get	Data arguments added to the URL query
-u, --user	Example Basic authentication credentials
Inline -b, --cookie	Cookie header
HTTP/HTTPS -x, --proxy	Proxy settings for HTTP and HTTPS requests
-L, --location for GET/HEAD	Redirect following enabled

Use separate option tokens: -X POST, not grouped short options. File inputs, multipart -F, shell substitutions, repeated headers and non-GET redirect combinations require manual review. Unsupported inputs stop conversion instead of producing an approximation that looks complete.

cURL and Requests are different HTTP clients. Converting their visible request settings does not reproduce the same TLS fingerprint, cookie store, compression behavior or all transport options.

The converter retains TLS verification and does not implement --insecure. It does not expand environment variables or execute command substitutions. Redirect following is disabled unless a supported --location option is present. If a redirect can change a POST method or body, review the request manually.

The generated code checks HTTP errors with raise_for_status(). APIs can also return application-level errors inside HTTP 200 responses; validate those according to the destination's documentation.

If your request uses a MIYAIP proxy, copy its actual protocol, host, port and authentication fields from your account. Use the connection verification guide before adding it to a larger script.
