##  What changes when a cURL command becomes requests code

 `requests` takes a keyword argument for almost everything cURL passes as a flag, so most of the conversion is a mapping: `-H` becomes the `headers` dict, `-b` becomes `cookies`, `-u` becomes the `auth` tuple, `-d` becomes `data`, and a JSON body is better passed as `json=` so the library sets `Content-Type` and serialises for you.

 Three differences bite in practice. First, `requests` follows redirects by default while `curl` only does with `-L`, so a converted command can silently land on a different URL — pass `allow_redirects=False` to match. Second, header order and casing are not preserved: the underlying `urllib3` connection pool emits its own order, which is one of the reasons a request that works in the terminal gets challenged from Python. Third, `requests` has no timeout by default; cURL has none either, but a scraper without one hangs a worker forever, so set `timeout=` on every call.

 For anything beyond a single call, reuse a `requests.Session`: it keeps the connection pool and the cookie jar, which is what makes a login survive to the next request. If the target answers your Python code differently from your terminal, the gap is usually the TLS handshake rather than the headers — compare both with the [JA3 fingerprint tool](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/ja3-fingerprint), or switch to [curl\_cffi](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/curl-python/curl_cffi), which can impersonate a real browser handshake.
