curlify2
Library to convert python requests and httpx object to curl command.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you regularly need to inspect or replay HTTP requests from Python. The zero-dependency install and permissive MIT license make it low-risk. However, the last release was 2023-06-09; verify that it handles the request and httpx versions in your environment before relying on it for production logging.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low friction install with no runtime dependencies.
- Last release was 2023-06-09, over two years old; repository remains active but maintenance is infrequent.

Verify before relying
pip install curlify2
from curlify2 import Curlify
curl_str = Curlify(request_object).to_curl()
print(curl_str)- Whether generated curl commands are always executable as-is or require manual adjustment for certain request types
- Support status for requests and httpx versions released after 2023-06-09
- Whether the library works correctly with Python 3.10 and 3.11 in current environments
What it is and what it does
Curlify2 takes an HTTP request object and generates the equivalent curl command as a string. This is useful when you need to reproduce an HTTP interaction outside Python—for instance, to share a request with a colleague, test it in a shell, or debug network behavior. The library accepts a request object, processes its method, headers, and body, and outputs a properly formatted curl invocation.
The package has no runtime dependencies beyond Python itself, making it lightweight to add to any project. It supports Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11. The library is described as an enhancement of an earlier curlify project, indicating it addresses limitations in that earlier work.
Use it for
- Debug HTTP requests by converting them to curl commands for manual testing in a terminal
- Log HTTP interactions in a format that can be replayed or shared with other developers
- Export requests made by your application for documentation or troubleshooting purposes
- Inspect request details in curl format before sending or after receiving responses
