HTTP to cURL API: generate a command from a GET request

Convert a public catalogue request

Set STRALE_API_KEY to your API key. This call asks Strale to generate a GET request for its public tool catalogue:

curl -X POST https://api.strale.io/v1/do \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $STRALE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "capability_slug": "http-to-curl",
    "inputs": {
      "url": "https://api.strale.io/v1/capabilities",
      "method": "GET",
      "headers": { "Accept": "application/json" }
    },
    "max_price_cents": 2
  }'

The outer POST invokes Strale’s converter. The inner method: GET describes the command being generated. The example has no request body. Its Accept header requests a JSON response; it does not claim to send JSON data.

Inspect the generated command

Read output.curl_command. For the inputs above it is:

curl \
  'https://api.strale.io/v1/capabilities' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json'

The response also includes equivalent_fetch and equivalent_axios snippets. Review generated code before running it, especially after changing authentication, method or body. A generated string is not evidence of a successful HTTP call.

Run or share it deliberately

Run the generated command only when you intend to contact its destination. Keep credentials out of shared examples: authentication supplied as converter input can appear in its output. The API key in the outer call above authenticates to Strale and is not part of the generated catalogue request.

See HTTP to cURL for the inputs, example output and current limitations.
