How do I send a PUT request in JavaScript?

Paste your curl PUT command above. Toolpaper generates JavaScript using fetch with headers, query string, and (where applicable) request body wired up.

Does the PUT generator handle authentication?

Yes — Authorization headers, Bearer tokens, Basic auth (-u), and API keys pass through to the generated JavaScript code unchanged.

Is my curl sent to a server?

No. Parsing and code generation run in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Can I also convert this to other languages?

Yes. Once you paste your command, the language picker lets you switch between 18 targets (fetch, axios, Python, Go, PHP, Ruby, Rust, Java, Kotlin, C#, PowerShell, Swift and more).

Convert a cURL PUT request to JavaScript

Paste any curl PUT command and get clean JavaScript code using fetch. Runs entirely in your browser — headers, auth, and JSON bodies map to idiomatic JavaScript.

Quick answer

To convert a cURL command to JavaScript, paste it into the Toolpaper workbench below. It parses the command in your browser and emits idiomatic JavaScript 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.

Example

A representative curl command for this scenario. Paste your own above to convert an exact match.

curl input

curl -X PUT https://api.example.com/users/42 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Ada Lovelace"}'

Implementation notes

Request-line method (PUT) and target URL are extracted from the curl command exactly as written — no case-folding, no path rewriting.
Every -H header maps to a JavaScript header entry; duplicates are preserved so servers that read multi-valued headers keep behaving.
Query strings in the URL stay in the URL; -G with --data-urlencode is promoted to a structured params argument where fetch supports it.
Request bodies are parsed against Content-Type: JSON bodies use idiomatic serialization (fetch), form bodies use URL-encoding, multipart uses -F semantics with file@ handling.
TLS flags (--insecure, --cacert, --cert) surface as inline notes so you don't ship an insecure client to production by accident.

Common mistakes

Forgetting that -X PUT without a body still sends an empty body — the generated code mirrors that exactly.
Assuming curl auto-follows redirects: it doesn't. Add -L (or the generator's follow-redirects flag) if you actually need to chase 3xx responses.
Copying a Cookie header from DevTools that already encodes session state — use the Clean panel to strip session cookies before you share.
