Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a curl command to PowerShell?
Simply paste your curl command in the input box above and select "PowerShell" from the language dropdown. The tool will generate equivalent PowerShell code using Invoke-RestMethod.
Does PowerShell have curl built-in?
PowerShell has an alias "curl" that points to Invoke-WebRequest, but it works differently than Unix curl. Our converter generates native PowerShell code using Invoke-RestMethod which is more idiomatic and feature-rich.
What version of PowerShell do I need?
Invoke-RestMethod is available in PowerShell 3.0 and later. PowerShell 7+ (PowerShell Core) is recommended for cross-platform compatibility and the latest features.
How do I handle authentication in PowerShell?
The generated code supports headers including Authorization. For Basic auth, PowerShell also supports the -Credential parameter. For OAuth, include the Bearer token in the headers.
Is the conversion done on your servers?
No, all conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your curl commands are never sent to our servers, ensuring complete privacy.
