No command yet
Enter a URL to start. The command updates as you type, with quoting correct for the shell you pick.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your data isn't uploaded — this page makes no network request with anything you type, which you can verify in your browser's network tab. How this works.
What is the cURL Generator?
cURL is the lingua franca for describing an HTTP request: it goes in bug reports, runbooks and documentation because it runs anywhere. Writing one by hand is fiddly, though — quoting a JSON body inside a shell string is where most people go wrong.
Fill in the method, URL, headers and body here and get a correctly quoted command back, either as a single line or wrapped across lines for readability, with quoting appropriate for bash, PowerShell or cmd.
How to use it
- Enter the URL and pick a method.
- Add headers as name/value pairs; common ones are available as presets.
- Choose a body type — JSON, form, raw or none — and paste the body.
- Pick your shell and line style, then copy the generated command.
Example
A POST with a JSON body, generated for bash.
POST https://api.example.com/v1/jobs, Content-Type: application/json
curl -X POST 'https://api.example.com/v1/jobs' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"name":"nightly-sync","enabled":true}'
