Importing cURL commands

This is the fastest import: you copy a curl command — from documentation, from your browser’s “Copy as cURL”, from a ticket — and you paste it into Restorm.

Importing

File ▸ Import (Ctrl+I) then paste the text. Restorm recognises a command by its curl prefix.

Several commands at once are accepted: every line starting with curl starts a new request. Paste a whole block of documentation and you get a whole folder.

What is recognised

curl option	What Restorm makes of it
-X, --request	The method
-H, --header	A header
-d, --data, --data-raw, --data-binary	The body
-F, --form	A form field (multipart/form-data)
The URL’s query string	The query parameters

After the import

A curl command has no notion of an environment: the URL is hard-coded. Replace the constant part with a {{variable}} — the field shows the resolved value underneath it, so you can see straight away whether it is right. See Inline variables.

The other way round

Every HTTP request’s Code Snippets tab contains its equivalent curl command, ready to copy. See Code export.
