Convert curl commands to Python code for Grab/Context frameworks

Project description

curlpyconvert

A command-line tool to convert cURL commands into Python code for Grab or Context frameworks.

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install curlpyconvert

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/tadeasf/curlpyconvert.git
cd curlpyconvert
rye sync

Usage

Command Line

  1. Copy your cURL command to clipboard

  2. Run one of these commands:

    # Interactive mode - will ask you to choose framework
    curlpyconvert
    
    # Or specify framework directly
    curlpyconvert -f grab    # For Grab framework
    curlpyconvert -f context # For Context framework
    
    # Show output instead of copying to clipboard
    curlpyconvert -f grab -s
    
  3. The converted Python code will be automatically copied to your clipboard (unless -s flag is used)

Example

Input (in clipboard):

bash
curl 'https://api.example.com/data' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'cookie: session=abc123' \
-H 'user-agent: Mozilla/5.0'

Output (for Grab framework):

def method_name(self):
self.g.setup(cookies={
'session': 'abc123',
})
self.g.setup(headers={
'accept': 'application/json',
'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0',
})
# URL: https://api.example.com/data

Output (for Context framework):

def method_name(self):
self.context.cookies.update({
'session': 'abc123',
})
self.context.headers.update({
'accept': 'application/json',
'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0',
})
# URL: https://api.example.com/data
