Import from cURL

Requestly converts cURL commands into fully editable API requests. This makes it easy to migrate from terminal workflows, import requests from documentation, or grab a request straight from your browser’s DevTools network panel.

How to Import a cURL Command

Open Requestly App

Download and launch the Requestly Desktop App.

Click Import and Select cURL

In the top-left corner of the API Client, click the Import button. Choose cURL from the dropdown.

Paste Your cURL Command

Paste your raw cURL command into the input box.

Click Import

Click Import. Requestly converts the cURL into an editable API request, ready to send or save to a collection.

cURL Examples

Paste any of these directly into the import dialog to see how they convert. Simple GET request

curl https://api.example.com/users

GET with headers and query param

curl "https://api.example.com/users?page=2" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  --header "Accept: application/json"

POST with JSON body

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.example.com/users \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"name":"Jane Doe","email":"[email protected]"}'

PUT to update a resource

curl --request PUT \
  --url https://api.example.com/users/42 \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"name":"Jane Smith"}'

DELETE request

curl --request DELETE \
  --url https://api.example.com/users/42 \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

POST with Basic Auth

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.example.com/login \
  --user "myuser:mypassword" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"remember_me": true}'

You can copy cURL commands directly from your browser’s DevTools. Open DevTools → Network tab → right-click any request → Copy as cURL.

What Gets Imported

When you paste a cURL command, Requestly extracts:

HTTP method (-X, --request)
URL and query parameters
Headers (-H, --header)
Request body (-d, --data, --data-raw, --data-binary)
Basic Auth credentials (-u, --user)
