Why json instead of body for a JSON payload?

Guzzle's json option takes a real PHP value, encodes it and sets the Content-Type header itself, so it's used whenever the curl command's own headers say the body is JSON. Anything else falls back to the body option as a raw string, exactly as curl would have sent it.

How is basic auth represented?

As Guzzle's own auth option, an ['username', 'password'] pair, which Guzzle turns into the same Authorization: Basic header curl's -u/--user would have sent.

Does it add error handling?

Guzzle throws on a 4xx/5xx response by default, matching what's generated. Turn on Don't throw on 4xx/5xx to add http_errors => false instead, if your code checks the status itself.

About this curl to Guzzle converter

Paste a curl command and get a GuzzleHttp\Client request call: method, URL, query string, headers, body and basic auth carried over as Guzzle's own options array, with a JSON body read into a real PHP array rather than a string. This page is the Guzzle output of the cURL to Code studio; fetch, Axios and Laravel Http are one click away and use the same parsing.

A worked example

This curl command:

curl 'https://api.example.com/v1/users?active=true' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'authorization: Bearer abc.def.ghi' \
  --data-raw '{"name":"Ada Lovelace","role":"admin"}'

becomes:

use GuzzleHttp\Client;

$client = new Client();
$response = $client->request('POST', 'https://api.example.com/v1/users', [
    'headers' => [
        'accept' => 'application/json',
        'content-type' => 'application/json',
        'authorization' => 'Bearer abc.def.ghi',
    ],
    'query' => [
        'active' => 'true',
    ],
    'json' => [
        'name' => 'Ada Lovelace',
        'role' => 'admin',
    ],
]);

A file upload field (-F name=@file.png) becomes a multipart entry with fopen(...) in place of the file's contents, since the file was never read; adjust the path before running the code.

How to use it

Paste a curl command, drop a file, or load an example.
Turn on Don't throw on 4xx/5xx if you want to check the status yourself.
Copy or download the generated file.
