Sanitize cURL Commands Before Sharing API Tickets

Remove API keys, bearer tokens, cookies, and PII from cURL snippets before posting support or incident tickets.

Updated: 2026-02-24

Problem

Teams often paste raw cURL commands into tickets during outages, and those snippets frequently include Authorization headers, session cookies, or temporary tokens.

Manual cleanup is slow under pressure and can still miss hidden query parameters or inline bearer tokens.

Solution

Use the cURL sanitizer to mask token-like values while preserving method, URL structure, and headers needed for debugging.

The result is easier for support teams to reproduce and safer to share across vendors and internal channels.

What we redact

Category	Examples	Replacement
Authorization header	`Authorization: Bearer ...` `Authorization: Basic ...`	`[REDACTED:AUTH]`
API key headers	`x-api-key` `api-key`	`[REDACTED:API_KEY]`
Cookie header	`Cookie: sessionid=...`	`[REDACTED:COOKIE]`
Set-Cookie header	`Set-Cookie: session=...`	`[REDACTED:SET_COOKIE]`
Token-like query params	`token` `access_token` `id_token` `api_key` `signature` `session` `auth`	`[REDACTED:QP]`
JWT in text	`eyJ...`	`[REDACTED:JWT]`
Email + IP + card data	`user@example.com` `203.0.113.10` `4111 1111 1111 1111`	`[REDACTED:EMAIL] / [REDACTED:IP] / [REDACTED:CARD]`
Bearer token inline	`Bearer abc.def.ghi`	`Bearer [REDACTED:BEARER]`

Examples

Authorization: Bearer [REDACTED:AUTH]
x-api-key: [REDACTED:API_KEY]

FAQ

Does this upload my cURL commands?

Sanitization runs locally in your browser. Raw input and output are not sent to a server by default.

Will support still be able to debug with redacted commands?

Yes. Method, endpoint shape, and non-sensitive context stay readable, so reproduction remains practical.
