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

1

Open Requestly App

Download and launch the Requestly Desktop App.
2

Click Import and Select cURL

In the top-left corner of the API Client, click the Import button. Choose cURL from the dropdown.
3

Paste Your cURL Command

Paste your raw cURL command into the input box.
4

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":"jane@example.com"}'
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)
