Frequently asked questions

Where do I usually get a curl command to paste in here?+

Browser DevTools: right-click any request in the Network tab and choose "Copy as cURL." Many API docs also show example requests as curl commands directly.

Which curl flags does this understand?+

The common ones: -X/--request, -H/--header, -d/--data (and its variants), -u/--user, -A/--user-agent, and -b/--cookie. Less common flags like -F for multipart file uploads are skipped rather than mistranslated.

Does it handle multi-line commands with backslash continuations?+

Yes, a curl command copied with line breaks and trailing backslashes parses the same as if it were on one line.
