cURL Command Builder
Build a curl request with a proxy
curl \ 'https://example.com'
What Is the cURL Command Builder?
The cURL Command Builder helps you construct a complete curl request visually — set the method, URL, headers, request body, and a proxy, then copy a ready-to-run command for your terminal. It is perfect for testing proxied requests, debugging APIs, and learning curl syntax, with everything assembled locally in your browser.
Key Features
Why Use curl with a Proxy
curl is the universal command-line tool for making HTTP requests, and routing it through a proxy lets you test exactly how a target responds from a different IP or location. It is the quickest way to verify a proxy works, debug geo-restricted endpoints, or reproduce a scraping request outside your code before integrating it.
How the Builder Helps
Remembering every curl flag — proxy syntax, header formatting, escaping the body — is tedious and error-prone. The builder lets you fill in fields and assembles a correct, copy-paste-ready command for you, including the proxy and authentication flags. You get a working command without memorizing the syntax.
Common Use Cases
- Testing whether a proxy works from the terminal
- Debugging an API request with custom headers
- Reproducing a scraping request before coding it
- Learning correct curl proxy and header syntax
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add a proxy to a curl command?
curl uses the -x or --proxy flag followed by the proxy URL, for example -x http://user:pass@host:port. The builder adds this for you automatically when you fill in the proxy fields.
Can I include custom headers and a body?
Yes. You can add any number of custom headers and a request body, and the builder formats them with the correct -H and -d flags in the generated command.
Does the builder send my request?
No. It only assembles the curl command text in your browser. You run the actual request yourself by pasting the command into your terminal, so nothing is sent by the tool.
Does it support SOCKS5 proxies?
Yes, you can specify a SOCKS5 proxy, and the builder outputs the appropriate proxy flag so the command routes through it correctly.
Is the cURL builder free?
Yes, it is completely free with no account required, and all command building happens locally in your browser.
