Quick Examples

Pick an example, then press Use This Example

GET Request

curl -H 'Accept: application/json' https://api.example.com/users

Copy any request as cURL

1Open your browser's DevTools and go to the Network tab.
2Right-click (or Ctrl-click) the request you want.
3Choose Copy → Copy as cURL (in Chrome pick the bash version).
4Paste it into the Enter cURL Command box above.

This works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.

Careful: copied commands often contain cookies or tokens. Remove them before sharing the code — sharing a session cookie is like sharing your password. Conversion happens entirely in your browser.

How to use this tool

Copy a curl command — from API documentation, or from your browser's DevTools (Network tab → right-click a request → Copy as cURL (bash)).
Paste it into Enter cURL command. The Scala sttp code appears instantly.
Set up: Install Scala CLI. The //> using lines at the top fetch Scala 3 and sttp when the script runs. In sbt, add "com.softwaremill.sttp.client4" %% "core" % "4.0.0".
Run it: Save the code as Main.scala and run scala-cli Main.scala. Replace placeholders such as YOUR_TOKEN first, and check any notes under the editors for curl options that have no sttp equivalent.

Example

GET with headers → Scala sttp

curl command

curl 'https://api.example.com/v1/users?page=2' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN'

Scala sttp

//> using scala 3
//> using dep com.softwaremill.sttp.client4::core:4.0.0

import sttp.client4.quick.*
import sttp.model.{Method, Uri}

@main def run(): Unit =
  val response = quickRequest
    .method(Method.GET, Uri.unsafeParse("https://api.example.com/v1/users?page=2"))
    .header("Accept", "application/json")
    .header("Authorization", "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN")
    .send()

  println(response.code)
  println(response.body)

Converting curl to Scala sttp

sttp client4 is a popular Scala HTTP client. The code uses its synchronous quick API: quickRequest builds the request and .send() returns the status and body as a string.

The converter reads the curl command the way curl does — the method (-X), headers (-H), request bodies (-d, --data-raw, --json, -F), query strings, basic auth (-u) and cookies — and writes the equivalent sttp code. Options that have no sttp equivalent are listed under the editors rather than silently dropped.

Limitations

The code is a starting point: add timeouts, retries and error handling for production use.
Secrets in the curl command are copied into the code — move them to environment variables before committing.

Frequently asked questions

Why Uri.unsafeParse instead of uri"…"?

The uri"…" interpolator treats $ as a variable, so URLs that contain it would change. Uri.unsafeParse keeps the URL exactly as in curl.

Is the request blocking?

Yes, the quick API uses a synchronous backend. For async code, use a Future, cats-effect or ZIO backend with the same request.

Is my curl command sent to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so tokens and passwords in the command never leave your device. Still, replace real secrets before sharing the generated code.
