Code Generation

Code Generation

Once a request is configured in Curlex, you can generate the equivalent code in multiple languages. Paste it directly into your application, a README, or a CI script.


Generating a Code Snippet

  1. Open a request.
  2. In the request toolbar, click More ▾ → Generate Code.
  3. Choose a target language from the list.
  4. Copy the generated code.

Supported Languages

Language / LibraryOutput
cURLA shell command you can run in any terminal
JavaScript — FetchModern browser or Node.js fetch() code
JavaScript — AxiosAxios HTTP client code
Node.jsNative http / https module code
Pythonrequests library code
PHPPHP cURL code
JavaOkHttp library code
DartDart http package code

All authentication settings, headers, and body content are reflected in the generated code.


Copy as cURL

For a quick cURL snippet without opening the code generator, right-click any request in the sidebar and choose Copy as cURL. The command is copied to your clipboard immediately.

This is useful when sharing a request with a teammate, filing a bug report, or running a quick check from the terminal.


Variable Substitution in Generated Code

If the request uses {{variables}}, the generated code shows the resolved values from the active environment — not the placeholder syntax. Make sure the correct environment is active before generating code if you need specific values in the output.
