Generate API request code snippets
Fill in the method, URL, headers, and body once and get a correct snippet in curl, JavaScript fetch, and other clients — with quoting and escaping handled.
Open the tool, then paste the sample input below. Everything runs locally in your browser.
The problem
Hand-writing a request in each language means re-quoting headers and escaping the JSON body every time. It is tedious and a common source of copy bugs. Generating the snippet from structured fields produces consistent, runnable code across clients.
Sample input
POST https://api.example.com/orders
Content-Type: application/json
{ "sku": "A1", "qty": 2 }Expected output
curl -X POST https://api.example.com/orders \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"sku":"A1","qty":2}'The body is single-quoted so the JSON survives the shell, and the header is passed with -H. A fetch variant escapes the same body as a JS string.
How to do it
- Enter the method and URL.
- Add the request headers.
- Paste the request body.
- Pick the target client, such as curl or fetch.
- Copy the generated snippet.
Common mistakes
- Unescaped quotes in a JSON body breaking the shell command.
- Forgetting the Content-Type header for a JSON body.
- Putting a body on a GET request.
- Hard-coding a real token into a snippet you will share.
- Mismatched quoting between shell and JavaScript snippets.

FAQ
How do I generate a request snippet?
Enter the method, URL, headers, and body, then pick a client such as curl or fetch. The tool emits a runnable snippet with quoting and escaping handled.
Which clients are supported?
Common targets include curl and JavaScript fetch, with the request method, headers, and body translated to each client's syntax.
How is the JSON body escaped?
For curl the body is single-quoted so it survives the shell; for fetch it is emitted as an escaped JavaScript string. Both represent the same JSON.
Should I include my real token?
No. Use a placeholder for secrets in any snippet you share, and replace it locally when you run the request.
Is my request uploaded?
No. The snippet is generated locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
