CURL Crawler is a Visual Studio Code extension designed to make retrieving HTTP response values easier. The tool works by allowing you to copy the curl command from Chrome DevTools (or any browser's developer tools), paste it into VSCode, and execute it. This extension processes the curl command, sending the request to the server and retrieving the response data. It provides a simple way to test APIs or debug network requests directly from your development environment.
