Curl Class

🚀 THE MAIN CURLDOTNET CLASS - Start here!

This class lets you run ANY curl command in C# by just copying and pasting it as a string. No translation needed. No learning curve. If it works in curl, it works here.

Quick Start:

// Just paste any curl command as a string:
var response = await Curl.Execute("curl https://api.github.com");
Console.WriteLine(response.Body);  // That's it! You're done!

What is curl? curl is the universal tool for making HTTP requests from the command line. Every API documentation uses it. Now you can use those exact same commands in your C# code.

Remarks

Why use CurlDotNet instead of HttpClient?

1. ✂️ Copy & Paste - Use commands directly from API docs without translation
2. 🎓 No Learning Curve - If you know curl (everyone does), you know this
3. 🔄 Easy Migration - Move from bash scripts to C# without rewriting
4. 📦 All Features - Supports all 300+ curl options out of the box

Thread Safety: All methods are thread-safe. You can call them from multiple threads simultaneously.

Memory Efficiency: Responses are streamed, not loaded into memory all at once. Perfect for large files.

Two Ways to Use CurlDotNet:

1. Paste curl commands: Just copy/paste any curl command string - it works!

var result = await Curl.ExecuteAsync("curl -X POST https://api.example.com/data -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{\"key\":\"value\"}'");

2. Use fluent builder: For programmatic API with IntelliSense

var result = await CurlRequestBuilder.Post("https://api.example.com/data").WithHeader("Content-Type", "application/json").WithJson(new { key = "value" }).ExecuteAsync();
