# Convert cURL command to Emacs Lisp code

[![Melpa](https://melpa.org/packages/curl-to-elisp-badge.svg)](https://melpa.org/#/curl-to-elisp)

_Inspired by [curl-to-Go: Convert curl commands to Go code](https://mholt.github.io/curl-to-go/)._

``` emacs-lisp

(curl-to-elisp "curl example.com")

;; =>

(url-retrieve-synchronously "http://example.com")

(curl-to-elisp "curl -d 'hello world' example.com")

;; =>

(let ((url-request-method "POST")

      (url-request-extra-headers

       '(("Content-Type" . "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")))

      (url-request-data "hello world"))

  (url-retrieve-synchronously "http://example.com"))

```

To get started, try `M-x curl-to-elisp curl -I example.com`, the Emacs Lisp code will be pretty-printed in echo area.

## Supported curl options

The following options are supported, other options are ignored.

| Option                        | Note                           |

|-------------------------------|--------------------------------|

| `-H, --header `       |                                |

| `-I, --head`                  |                                |

| `-X, --request `     |                                |

| `-d, --data `           | does not interpret `@` as file |

| `--data-ascii `         |                                |

| `--data-binary `        |                                |

| `--data-raw `           |                                |

| `--data-urlencode `     |                                |

| `-F, --form `   | does not interpret `@` as file |

| `--form-string ` |                                |

| `-A, --user-agent `     |                                |

| `-e, --referer `         |                                |

| `--url `                 |                                |

| `-u, --user `  | does not prompt for a password |

| `-s, --silent`                |                                |

### `-L`, `--location`

Regarding the location header, curl doesn't redirect unless you use `-L`,

`--location`, however, `url-retrieve[-synchronously]` DOES automatically

redirect, to inhibit redirection, let-binding `url-max-redirections`, e.g.,

``` emacs-lisp

(let ((url-max-redirections 0))

  (display-buffer

   (url-retrieve-synchronously "http://emacs-china.org")))

```

## httpie to elisp

`curl-to-elisp-httpie-to-elisp` uses [curlie](https://curlie.io/) to

transform an [httpie](https://httpie.org/)/curlie command to elisp.

You need to have `curlie` binary in your path (or customize

`curl-to-elisp-curlie-binary`).

## curl to [verb](https://github.com/federicotdn/verb)

`curl-to-elisp-verb` converts curl command to verb request specification.
