Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert cURL to fetch()?

cURL is the universal way to share API examples in documentation, but browser JavaScript uses the fetch() API. Converting cURL commands lets you test APIs directly in your browser code, React/Vue components, or Node.js without installing curl. This tool handles all flags: -H headers, -d body, -X method, --data-urlencode, and --compressed.

How are cURL headers converted to fetch?

Each -H 'Header: Value' flag becomes an entry in the fetch headers object. Authorization headers, Content-Type, Accept, and custom headers are all mapped. The tool preserves exact header names and values including multi-value headers.

Does the converter handle JSON bodies?

Yes. A cURL -d '{"key":"value"}' or --data-raw flag is placed in the fetch body property as a string. If the Content-Type is application/json, the output wraps the body in JSON.stringify() so you can pass an object directly rather than a raw string.

What cURL flags does the converter not support?

Client certificate flags (-E, --cert), proxy settings (--proxy), and low-level socket options don't map to fetch(). File upload with @filename is converted to a FormData placeholder you fill in manually. Basic auth (-u user:pass) is converted to an Authorization: Basic header with the base64-encoded credentials.
