HTTPSnippet is a TypeScript library and CLI that converts HTTP requests described in HAR format into executable code snippets for many languages and libraries such as cURL, HTTPie, Python, Go, and Swift. It supports extensible targets and clients with per-client formatting options.

Use cases

  • generate curl command from a HAR file
  • convert HTTP request to python requests code
  • generate code samples for API docs in multiple languages
  • turn captured HAR requests into httpie snippets
  • generate client code snippets for javascript, go, java, php from an HTTP request

When to choose

  • you need to show the same HTTP request as code in many languages
  • you have HAR captures and want reproducible request snippets
  • you're building API documentation or an API embed service

When to avoid

  • you need to actually execute HTTP requests rather than generate snippets
  • your target language or HTTP client isn't among the supported generators
