Uncurl is a library that allows you to convert curl requests into python code that uses Requests. Since the Chrome network inspector has a nifty "Copy as cURL", this tool is useful for recreating browser requests in python.
$ uncurl "curl 'https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncurl' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.152 Safari/537.36' -H 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8' -H 'Cache-Control: max-age=0' -H 'Cookie: foo=bar;' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' --compressed"
requests.get("https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncurl", headers={
"Accept-Encoding": "gzip,deflate,sdch",
"Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.8",
"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.152 Safari/537.36",
"Accept": "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8",
"Cache-Control": "max-age=0",
"Connection": "keep-alive",
}, cookies={
"foo": "bar",
})
The underlying API:
import uncurl
print uncurl.parse("curl 'https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncurl' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch'")
prints the string
'requests.get("https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncurl", headers={
"Accept-Encoding": "gzip,deflate,sdch",
})'
You can also pipe input to uncurl:
pbpaste | uncurl
$ pip install uncurl
