URL → code snippet

14 languages at once · headers and body included · correct quoting per language

You have a URL that works and you need it as code — in whichever language today's task is in. Fill in the request once and get all fourteen versions, each properly quoted for its language, each with its own copy button. No sign-in, no request made, and the URL never leaves your tab.

Ready.

How to use

  1. Paste the URL. Query parameters stay as they are — write them in the URL rather than as a separate structure, so the snippet matches the request you tested.
  2. Pick the Method. The snippets adapt: a body is omitted for GET and HEAD, and Go and Java use their method-specific builders where one exists.
  3. Add Headers one per line in the same Name: value form you would see in DevTools — you can paste a block of headers straight in.
  4. Add a Body for write methods.
  5. Find your language in the table and click Copy. Each snippet includes the quoting and escaping that language needs, so a URL with &, % or quotes in it does not break the code.

What the snippets get right

Shell quoting. The curl, HTTPie and wget snippets single-quote the URL, because an unquoted URL containing & makes the shell background the command at that point, and one containing $ gets variable-substituted. A single quote inside the URL is handled with the '\'' idiom rather than being escaped in a way that does not work.

Error handling that is not optional. fetch does not reject on a 404 or a 500 — it resolves with res.ok === false, which is the single most common mistake in JavaScript HTTP code. The Python snippet calls raise_for_status(), the C# one calls EnsureSuccessStatusCode(), and the Go one checks err, because those are the lines people forget.

Resource cleanup. Go's defer res.Body.Close() and PHP's curl_close() are included. Leaking response bodies in Go exhausts connections under load, and it is invisible in testing.

A note on what these snippets deliberately do not include: retries, timeouts and connection reuse. All three matter in production, and all three are opinionated enough that a generated default would be wrong more often than right. Add a timeout to anything that ships — most of these clients have no default at all, which means a hung server hangs your process indefinitely.

FAQ

Is anything sent anywhere?

No. The snippets are generated as text in your browser — the tool never makes the request, so a URL with a credential in it stays local.

Should I put a token in the headers box?

It works, and nothing leaves the tab — but the generated snippet then contains your token, so treat it as a secret and replace it with an environment variable before committing. The status line reminds you when a credential header is present.

Can I paste headers copied from DevTools?

Yes, that is the expected input — the Name: value per line format is exactly what "Copy request headers" produces. Pseudo-headers like :method and :authority from HTTP/2 will be listed as headers; delete those lines.

What about form-encoded or multipart bodies?

Write a form-encoded body out as a=1&b=2 and set Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded — the snippets pass the body through unchanged. Multipart is not covered, because each client constructs the boundary itself; use the client's own file-upload API.
