How is Bearer token rendered in PowerShell?

The Authorization: Bearer header passes through to the generated request as-is. Use Toolpaper's Clean panel to redact the token before sharing.

Can I redact the secret before sharing?

Yes. Open the Clean panel — Toolpaper detects Bearer tokens, Basic credentials, and common API-key patterns and replaces them with in a diffable view.

Does anything leave my browser?

No. Parsing, redaction, and generation are 100% client-side.

cURL with Bearer token in PowerShell

Paste a curl command that uses Bearer token and get PowerShell code using Invoke-RestMethod. Toolpaper also detects secrets and offers a one-click redaction before sharing.

Quick answer

To convert a cURL command to PowerShell, paste it into the Toolpaper workbench below. It parses the command in your browser and emits idiomatic PowerShell code — headers, query string, request body, authentication (Bearer, Basic, API key), and cookies are all wired up automatically. No data is uploaded; conversion is fully client-side.

curl https://api.example.com/me \

Implementation notes

Authorization: Bearer <token> is preserved verbatim so JWT signatures stay intact — no re-encoding, no whitespace normalization.
Secrets are visible in the parsed request. Use the Clean panel's redact-and-diff flow before you paste the command anywhere.
Shareable links Base64-encode the input — they never leave your browser, and cleaned versions produce different links.

Common mistakes

Pasting a Bearer token straight into a public repo — the Clean panel flags common JWT and opaque-token shapes.
Not rotating a leaked credential because "it's only in a screenshot" — screenshots get OCR'd, redact first.
Trusting HTTPS alone for API keys in query strings — proxies log URLs. Prefer headers, which the converter defaults to.
