Frequently asked questions

Does this actually send the request?

No. This tool only builds the cURL command as text; nothing is sent over the network from this site. You run the generated command yourself, in your own terminal, against the API you're testing.

Why isn't there a JavaScript or Python output option?

cURL is the one format nearly everyone recognizes and can run immediately from a terminal. If you need a request in a specific programming language, translating a cURL command into it is usually quick work for anyone already writing code in that language.

How does Basic Auth work here?

Enter a username and password, and the tool adds curl's -u flag, which handles the base64 encoding for you, the same as curl does when you run it directly.

Is anything I enter sent anywhere?

No. The command is generated entirely in your browser, including anything sensitive like tokens or passwords you enter. Nothing is sent to a server.
