curl Command Generator
Generate curl commands from URL, method, headers, and body.
About this tool
Generate curl commands from URL, method, headers, and body. Reproduce requests, look up status codes, and configure cross-origin headers for local dev.
Fill in the request URL and HTTP method. Add headers (one Name: value per line) and an optional body for non-GET calls. Example — POST JSON create: try `POST https://api.example.com/v1/items Content-Type: application/json {"name":"widget"}` and expect something like `curl -X POST 'https://api.example.com/v1/items' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"name":"widget"}'`.
File uploads (-F), mTLS, and cookie jars are not modeled in the basic builder. See also: HTTP Header Parser, and OpenAPI Snippet Generator. Runs in your browser — nothing you paste gets uploaded.
How to use
- Fill in the request URL and HTTP method.
- Add headers (one Name: value per line) and an optional body for non-GET calls.
- Copy the generated curl command into a terminal or runbook.
- Adjust quoting if your shell or payload contains special characters.

- File uploads (-F), mTLS, and cookie jars are not modeled in the basic builder.
