Convert cURL to Postman

Learn how to convert CURL to Postman.

What is a cURl?
cURL (pronounced "curl") is a command-line tool for transferring data using various protocols, such as HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. cURL is widely used for making HTTP requests from the command line, for example, to retrieve data from a web server or to send data to a server for processing. The syntax of a cURL command typically includes the URL of the server to which the request is being sent, as well as various options that can be used to configure the request, such as specifying the type of request (GET, POST, etc.), sending data in the request body, and more.

And here's an example of a cURL command that makes a POST request to a server, sending data in the request body and including some additional options:

You can also use cURL to send requests to APIs and also configure options such as basic authentication, proxy, cookies and many more.

Converting cURL to Postman
To convert a cURL command to a Postman request, you can follow these steps:

1) Open Postman.
2) Click on the "Import" button in the top left corner of the window.
3) Select "Paste Raw Text" and paste the cURL command into the text field.
4) Postman will automatically convert the cURL command and create a new request in the appropriate format.
5) You can then edit the request and test it by clicking on the "Send" button.

Alternatively, you can also use a chrome extension "Postman Interceptor" that can capture the CURL request and import it to postman.
