About this tool

Build a properly quoted curl command from a method, URL, headers, and body — handy for turning an API request into something you can paste straight into a terminal, script, or bug report without worrying about shell escaping.

Frequently asked questions

How are special characters in the body handled?
The body is wrapped in single quotes, and any single quotes within it are escaped using the standard shell technique ('\''), so the generated command is safe to run as-is in bash/zsh.
What does the "Insecure" flag do?
Adds -k, which tells curl to skip SSL certificate verification — useful for local development against self-signed certificates, but never recommended for production traffic.
Does a body get added automatically for GET requests?
No — a body is only included in the generated command if you've entered one; the tool doesn't force curl's implicit method switch that happens when using -d without -X.
