CurlDotNet – Pure .NET curl

CurlDotNet is an open-source .NET library that lets developers paste curl commands directly into C# applications - no manual translation required.

Iron Software proudly sponsors CurlDotNet to support the .NET open-source community. Built and maintained by Jacob Mellor, CTO and Co-Founder of Iron Software.

Quick Start

dotnet add package CurlDotNet

dotnet add package CurlDotNet

using CurlDotNet;

// Paste any curl command directly from documentation
var result = await Curl.ExecuteAsync(
    "curl -X GET https://api.github.com/users/octocat -H 'Accept: application/json'"
);

using CurlDotNet;

Why CurlDotNet?

CurlDotNet is implemented purely in C# with ZERO dependencies. More importantly, CurlDotNet supports and preserves cURL's features and syntax faithfully. This means:

1. Ease-of-Use - Copy and paste cURL commands from API docs, Stack Overflow, or the terminal and use them directly in C# programs (no translation to HttpClient required!)
2. Quick Migration - Move from using bash scripts for cURL-related tasks to C# with minimal effort
3. No Learning Curve - Developers familiar with cURL can jump into CurlDotNet immediately
4. Fully-Featured - Access all 300+ cURL options, handle authentication, proxies, retries, and file uploads easily!
