cURL Command Parser

About this tool

Paste a curl command and see its parts broken out: HTTP method, URL, headers and request body, useful for understanding and porting API calls.

Example

Input: curl -X POST https://api.x.com -d ...

Output: Method: POST, URL: https://api.x.com, Body: ...

Privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your data is processed locally and never uploaded to a server.

How to use this tool

1. Paste a complete curl command into the input box.
2. Check the parsed method, URL, headers, and body.
3. Use the split-out parts to understand what the request sends.
4. Copy the values you need when porting the call into another language or tool.

Step by step, what happens

1. The tool reads the curl command and identifies the HTTP method if one is present.
2. It extracts the request URL so you can see the target endpoint clearly.
3. It separates any headers into individual key value pairs.
4. It pulls out the request body, if the command includes one, so you can inspect the payload on its own.

Worked example

A common use is checking a POST request before rewriting it in another client or SDK.

Input: curl -X POST https://api.example.com/login -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"email":"[email protected]"}'

1. Paste the curl command into the tool.
2. The tool detects POST as the method, https://api.example.com/login as the URL, Content-Type as a header, and the JSON string as the body.

Tips and common mistakes

• Include the full curl command, not just the URL, if you want headers and body parsed too.
• Make sure quoted values stay intact, especially JSON bodies and headers with spaces.
• If a command uses several -H flags, expect each one to appear as its own header entry.
• If the request has no body, the tool will still show the method, URL, and headers it can find.
