Parse curl command (from "copy to cURL") or (w/ --fetch) fetch code (from
"copy to fetch") from stdin and either execute the request using
requests.request() (exec subcommand) or print Python code to do so (code
subcommand).
Get the code:
$ convert-to-requests code --pretty <<< "curl 'https://obfusk.ch' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0'"
requests.request('GET', 'https://obfusk.ch', headers={
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'
})Execute the request:
$ convert-to-requests exec -v <<< "curl 'https://obfusk.ch' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0'" | head -2
GET https://obfusk.ch headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'} data=None
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">POST works too:
$ convert-to-requests code <<< "curl 'https://example.com' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0' -H 'Accept: application/json' -X POST --data-raw foo"
requests.request('POST', 'https://example.com', headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0', 'Accept': 'application/json'}, data=b'foo')$ convert-to-requests --fetch code <<'END'
fetch("https://example.com", {
"headers": {
"accept": "application/json"
},
"body": null,
"method": "GET",
"mode": "cors",
"credentials": "omit"
});
END

('curl', 'https://example.com', '-H', "foo: 'bar'")Unfortunately, "copy as fetch" doesn't include cookies ("copy as Node.js fetch" does).
Chromium doesn't include a User-Agent header in either.
