Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Invoke-RestMethod and Invoke-WebRequest?
Invoke-RestMethod automatically parses JSON or XML response bodies into PowerShell custom objects, making it ideal for REST APIs. Invoke-WebRequest returns the raw HTTP response including status code, headers, and unparsed content.
Does this tool support self-signed certificates (-k / --insecure)?
Yes. When -k or --insecure is provided, the converter adds -SkipCertificateCheck for PowerShell 7+ or generates the necessary TLS certificate callback for Windows PowerShell 5.1.
Are my authorization tokens and passwords uploaded anywhere?
No. All conversion logic runs 100% client-side in your local browser sandbox. No commands, URLs, headers, or payloads are transmitted across the internet.
Can this convert multi-line cURL commands?
Yes. The parser seamlessly processes cURL commands containing backslash (\) or Windows caret (^) line continuations.
