How to Convert and Run cURL Commands Online in Your Browser
Learn how to instantly import raw cURL commands into an interactive online API client to inspect, edit, and re-run requests without opening a command terminal.
Why Convert cURL Commands to an Interactive UI?
Many developer documentations, developer portals (such as Stripe, GitHub, or Twilio), and browser DevTools allow copying requests as raw cURL commands. While cURL is ubiquitous in terminal environments, reading multiline terminal output, tweaking deeply nested JSON properties, or managing authorization flags can be tedious.
Converting a cURL command into an interactive browser client provides visual inspection, instant edits, real-time validation, and the ability to export the response to local files.
How Apier Parses cURL Commands
Apier includes an integrated cURL parser accessible from the top toolbar:
- Click the cURL button in the Apier header.
- Paste your raw cURL command (for example, copied from Chrome DevTools 'Copy as cURL' or an API documentation snippet).
- Apier instantly extracts the HTTP method (
-X POST,-X GET), target URL, all header flags (-H "Authorization: ..."), and body data (--data-raw '{"key":"value"}'). - Click Import to populate all workspace fields automatically.
Exporting Requests Back to cURL
Need to share your tested API call with a colleague or embed it inside an automated shell script? Apier lets you copy the active request configuration as an escaped, ready-to-run cURL command with a single click.
