What is CURL to Python Conversion?

CURL to Python conversion transforms CURL command-line instructions into Python code using the popular requests library. This is essential for Python developers working with APIs, web scraping, automation, or data science projects.

Our free online CURL to Python converter automatically analyzes your CURL command and generates clean, Pythonic code that includes all headers, parameters, authentication, and properly handles JSON data.

Key Features

🐍 Pythonic Code

Generates idiomatic Python code following PEP 8 style guide with proper naming conventions.

πŸ“¦ Requests Library

Uses the popular requests library - the de facto standard for HTTP in Python.

πŸ”’ Session Support

Includes session management for cookie persistence and connection pooling.

βœ… Error Handling

Includes try-except blocks and response.raise_for_status() for robust error handling.

πŸ“Š JSON Support

Automatic JSON parsing with response.json() and proper content-type handling.

πŸ’― Free to Use

Completely free with no registration or limitations. Convert unlimited CURL commands.

How to Convert CURL to Python

  1. Get CURL Command: Right-click a request in browser DevTools Network tab and select "Copy as cURL"
  2. Open Converter: Visit our main converter page
  3. Paste and Convert: Paste your CURL command and click "Python으둜 λ³€ν™˜"
  4. Use the Code: Copy the generated Python code and use it in your project

Conversion Example

Input: CURL Command

curl -X POST https://api.example.com/users \\
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \\
-H "Authorization: Bearer token123" \\
-d "{\"username\":\"john_doe\",\"email\":\"john@example.com\"}"

Output: Python requests Code

import requests
import json

url = "https://api.example.com/users"

headers = {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer token123"
}

data = {
    "username": "john_doe",
    "email": "john@example.com"
}

try:
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
    response.raise_for_status() # Raises HTTPError for bad status
    result = response.json()
    print(result)
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")

Python Use Cases

Python Best Practices

1. Use Session Objects for Multiple Requests

session = requests.Session()
session.headers.update({"Authorization": "Bearer token"})

response1 = session.get("https://api.example.com/users")
response2 = session.post("https://api.example.com/data")

2. Set Timeouts

response = requests.get(url, timeout=10) # 10 seconds timeout

3. Use response.raise_for_status()

response = requests.get(url)
response.raise_for_status() # Raises HTTPError if status != 200

4. Handle JSON Properly

# Sending JSON data
response = requests.post(url, json=data) # Automatically sets Content-Type

# Receiving JSON data
result = response.json()

5. Use Context Managers for Files

with open("file.pdf", "rb") as f:
    files = {"file": f}
    response = requests.post(url, files=files)

FAQ

Do I need to install the requests library?

Yes, install it with: pip install requests

Which Python versions are supported?

The requests library supports Python 3.7+. Our generated code is compatible with all modern Python versions.

Can I use urllib instead of requests?

While possible, requests is more Pythonic and easier to use. We recommend using requests for HTTP operations.

How do I handle authentication?

Our converter preserves all authentication headers. For basic auth, you can also use: requests.get(url, auth=("user", "pass"))
