cURL to Axios Converter

What does the cURL to Axios converter do?

API docs, browser dev tools, and Postman all hand you requests as cURL commands — but if your project uses axios, you want an axios call, not a shell one-liner. This converter parses the cURL command line (method, URL, headers, cookies, auth, body, form data) and emits equivalent axios code you can paste straight into your frontend or Node.js project.

Parsing happens locally in your browser. Commands routinely contain Authorization headers and session cookies, and none of it is transmitted anywhere — though you should still rotate any credentials you end up pasting into shared links or docs.

When to use it

The standard workflow: open your browser's Network tab, right-click a request, choose "Copy as cURL", paste it here, and get axios code that reproduces the request — method, headers, and body intact. That's the fastest route from "the request works in the browser" to "the request works in my code".

It also saves the tedium of hand-translating API documentation. Most REST API references only show cURL examples; converting the whole command in one step means no typo'd header names and no guessing how -d maps to axios's data option. JSON bodies are detected and emitted as structured objects, so the generated code looks like something you'd write, not a string blob.

Example

Paste curl -X POST https://api.example.com/v1/items -H 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"name":"Widget"}' and you get an axios call with the method, a headers object, and the JSON payload as a data object — ready to await, with response data on response.data. Use "Copy link to this result" to share a permalink that restores the exact command for a teammate. If your project uses the native Fetch API instead, the companion cURL to Fetch tool does the same conversion for fetch().
