Convert a Copied cURL Command to URLSession, fetch, or Axios on Mac

API documentation frequently uses cURL because it is portable and easy to test in a terminal. Application code usually needs a different shape: URLSession in Swift, fetch in a browser or Node.js project, or Axios in a JavaScript codebase.

Pasteon can recognize a copied HTTP or HTTPS cURL request and offer those conversions beside the clipboard item.

Convert the request

1. Copy the cURL command from documentation, a terminal, or a teammate.
2. Open the copied item in Pasteon.
3. Choose Convert cURL Request.
4. Select URLSession, fetch, or Axios.
5. Paste the starter code into your project and review it.

Pasteon carries common request details such as the URL, method, headers, and body into the generated code. Complex shell expressions and environment-specific behavior may still need manual adjustment.

Why clipboard conversion is useful

The conversion stays close to the task. You do not need to open another website, paste the request, choose a target, copy the result, and return to the editor. The original cURL command also remains in searchable clipboard history if you need another output format.

Always review generated requests

Before running generated code, check authentication headers, secrets, cookies, redirects, timeouts, body encoding, and error handling. Remove credentials from examples before sharing them.
