curl to Axios converter

Convert a curl command into an Axios request config — handy for React, Vue and Node.js projects that already use Axios.

import axios from "axios";

const response = await axios({
  method: "post",
  url: "https://mockfox.dev/api/fake/posts",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN",
  },
  data: {
    "title": "Hello",
    "body": "From curl",
    "userId": 1
  },
  maxRedirects: 0, // curl doesn't follow redirects without -L (Node only)
});

console.log(response.status, response.data);

How to convert a curl command

1. Paste the command into the box (multi-line commands with \ continuations are fine) — or copy one from DevTools with Copy as cURL.
2. Pick the output language. The code updates as you type.
3. Copy or download the code, and check any warnings about options that can't be converted.

Axios vs fetch for converted requests

• Axios serialises objects passed as data to JSON automatically and parses JSON responses into response.data.
• It rejects the promise for non-2xx statuses (configurable with validateStatus), unlike fetch.
• -u user:pass maps to Axios' auth option, which builds the Basic header for you.
• maxRedirects: 0 mirrors curl without -L — it only takes effect in Node.js; browsers always follow redirects.
