cURL to Rust converter

Paste a cURL command and get the same request in Rust, using reqwest (blocking client). It converts in your browser; nothing you paste is sent anywhere.

// Cargo.toml: reqwest = { version = "0.12", features = ["blocking"] }

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = reqwest::blocking::Client::builder()
        .build()?;
    let response = client.request(reqwest::Method::from_bytes(b"GET")?, "https://api.scraper.example/v1/scrape?url=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.example.com%2Fproducts%3Fpage%3D2&render_js=true&country=us")
        .header("Authorization", "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY")
        .send()?;
    println!("{}", response.status());
    println!("{}", response.text()?);
    Ok(())
}

Running the code

Add reqwest with its blocking feature (and json when the body is JSON) to Cargo.toml, then cargo run. The blocking client keeps the example short; the async client takes the same builder calls with .await.

Where reqwest differs from curl

reqwest follows up to ten redirects by default. A non-2xx status is not an error unless you call error_for_status, so a blocked scrape returns normally with its status.

What calls like this one cost

The example is a scraping API call with JavaScript rendering on and a country chosen. 100,000 of them a month cost from $49.00 on ScrapeBadger, and the same pages without rendering from $19.00 on BrowserCloud, the cheapest complete bills across 27 web scraping APIs this site prices from their own pages. What rendering adds on each API
