cURL to Python Requests Converter

Copy a request from your browser's developer tools or an API's documentation as curl, paste it here, and get Python code that sends the same request with requests or httpx. The query string becomes a params dict, headers and cookies become dicts, JSON bodies become Python dicts passed with json=, form data becomes a data dict, -F uploads become files= tuples, and -u, -k, -m, -x and -L become auth, verify, timeout, proxies and redirect settings.

How to use this tool

1. Paste the curl command (bash or Windows cmd style).
2. Choose requests or httpx.
3. Decide whether the query string should move into params=.
4. Copy the code and run it; check the notes for anything that needs attention.

Formula

curl -X M URL -H "K: V" -d BODY → requests.m(url, headers={...}, data=… / json=…)

Body mapping: JSON (Content-Type …json) → json=, x-www-form-urlencoded pairs → data= dict, other text → data= (content= in httpx), -F fields → files= with (filename, open(path, "rb"), type) for files and (None, value) for text so the request stays multipart. curl follows redirects only with -L: requests follows by default, so allow_redirects=False is added without -L; httpx never follows unless follow_redirects=True, which -L adds.

Example

The sample GET becomes requests.get(url, params={"q": "coffee", "page": "2"}, headers={…}, cookies={"session": "abc123", "theme": "dark"}, timeout=30). -L needs no argument because requests follows redirects by default, and --compressed needs none because requests already asks for gzip and decompresses it.
