Uncurl-X - Converting curl requests to python httpx requests

In a nutshell

Uncurl-X is a library that allows you to convert curl requests into python code that uses httpx. Since the Chrome network inspector has a nifty "Copy as cURL", this tool is useful for recreating browser requests in python.

When you don't pass any arguments to uncurlx, it will use whatever is in your clipboard as the curl command.

This is a fork of uncurl by spulec which converts from curl to requests.

Example

$ uncurl "curl 'https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncurlx' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.152 Safari/537.36' -H 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8' -H 'Cache-Control: max-age=0' -H 'Cookie: foo=bar;' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' --compressed"
httpx.get("https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncurlx", headers={
    "Accept-Encoding": "gzip,deflate,sdch",
    "Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.8",
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.152 Safari/537.36",
    "Accept": "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8",
    "Cache-Control": "max-age=0",
    "Connection": "keep-alive",
}, cookies={
    "foo": "bar",
})

The underlying API:

import uncurlx

print(uncurlx.parse("curl 'https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncurlx' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch'"))

prints the string

'requests.get("https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncurlx", headers={
    "Accept-Encoding": "gzip,deflate,sdch",
})'

You can also retrieve the components as python objects:

>>> import uncurlx
>>> context = uncurl.parse_context("curl 'https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncurlx' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch'")
>>> context.url
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncurlx
>>> context.headers
OrderedDict([('Accept-Encoding', 'gzip,deflate,sdch')])

On Mac OS, you can also pipe input to uncurlx:

pbpaste | uncurlx

Install

$ pip install uncurlx
