How to copy a curl command from DevTools
Most browsers can export any network request as a ready-to-paste curl command.
Chrome / Edge
- Open DevTools (F12 or Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + I)
- Go to the Network tab and reload the page
- Right-click a request → Copy → Copy as cURL
Firefox
- Open the Network Monitor in DevTools
- Right-click a request → Copy Value → Copy as cURL
- Paste it in the input above
Safari
- Enable the Develop menu in Settings → Advanced
- Open Web Inspector → Network tab
- Right-click a request → Copy as cURL
Your data stays in your browser
We never transmit, store, or log the curl commands you paste. All parsing and conversion happens client-side using JavaScript.
Watch for secrets
Curl commands copied from DevTools often contain cookies, bearer tokens, or API keys. Never share converted code without scrubbing those values first.

About converting curl to PowerShell
Convert curl to PowerShell using `Invoke-RestMethod`, the modern, REST-friendly cmdlet built into PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7+. The generated script handles HTTP methods, headers, JSON bodies, basic and bearer authentication, and SSL options — and `Invoke-RestMethod` automatically deserializes JSON responses into PowerShell objects, so you can pipe results straight into `Where-Object`, `Select-Object`, or `ConvertTo-Json`. This is especially useful on Windows servers where curl behaves differently from the Unix version, or when you're translating API documentation into a PowerShell automation script.
Output uses
Invoke-RestMethod
File extension: .ps1
How to use the PowerShell output
- 1Paste your curl command into the input above.
- 2Copy the generated PowerShell snippet — it uses `Invoke-RestMethod`.
- 3Open PowerShell (5.1+) or PowerShell 7 — no install required.
- 4Paste the snippet directly into the prompt, or save it to a `.ps1` file and run with `./script.ps1`.
- 5The response is automatically parsed — pipe it into `ConvertTo-Json` or access fields with dot notation like `$response.id`.
