Import from cURL

Convert a cURL command into an API test step without manual setup.

How to import

To import a cURL command as a test step, do the following:

Open a test and select the + button to add a step.
Select Import from cURL.
In the modal, enter a Step name and paste your cURL command.
Select Create.

What Gets Imported

HTTP method, URL, headers, query parameters, and request body are mapped automatically.
SON request bodies are prettified on import.
Your account's default organization headers are merged with headers from the cURL. If the same header exists in both, the cURL value takes precedence.

Supported

HTTP and HTTPS only.
Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH.

Limitations

Single step only. One cURL command creates one step. Collection-level import is not supported.
No chaining. Commands using &&, ;, or newline-separated calls return a validation error.
--max-time and --location are silently ignored.Steps are created without them, with no warning shown.
Unrecognized flags are silently ignored. If a flag is not listed above, it is skipped without error.

Note

Invalid or unsupported cURL syntax produces a validation error in the modal. Correct the command and try again.
