FakerAPI

FakerAPI is a free, no-authentication REST API that returns realistic fake data for developers, designers, and QA engineers. Built on top of the PHP Faker library by Alessandro Pietrantonio, it exposes a uniform set of GET endpoints for addresses, books, companies, images, persons, places, products, texts, users, and a fully custom resource builder. Every endpoint accepts the same three control parameters (_quantity, _locale, _seed) and returns the same envelope, making it trivial to use for prototypes, mock servers, workshop fixtures, and integration tests.

FakerAPI publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Addresses API, Books API, Companies API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Test Data, Fake Data, Mocking, Developer Tools, and Open-Source.

The FakerAPI catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/fakerapi: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

Features 8

Notable capabilities this provider offers.

Ten Resource Collections

Addresses, books, companies, images, persons, places, products, texts, users, and a custom resource builder.

No Authentication

Every endpoint is open; no API key or registration required.

60+ Locales

Generate data in en_US, fr_FR, it_IT, ja_JP, and 60+ other locales via the _locale parameter.

Deterministic Seeding

Pass _seed to make payloads exactly reproducible across runs.

Up to 1000 Records Per Call

Tune _quantity from 1 to 1000 records per request, default 10.

Custom Schema Endpoint

/api/v1/custom accepts a caller-defined field map (e.g. name=name, email=email, phone=phoneNumber) and returns matching records.

Standard Response Envelope

Every endpoint returns the same {status, code, locale, seed, total, data} shape.

Free Forever

Service is described as Free, Forever with no published rate limits.

Use Cases 7

What developers build with this provider.

Frontend Prototyping

Populate React, Vue, or Svelte mockups with realistic data without standing up a backend.

API Mocking

Use FakerAPI directly or as a fixture source for Microcks, Prism, MSW, or Postman.

QA Test Data

Generate deterministic test fixtures (via _seed) for automated browser and API tests.

Workshop and Training Fixtures

Hand learners a single URL to fetch sample data instead of provisioning per-student accounts.

Database Seeding

Seed development databases with thousands of fake users, companies, or products.

Internationalization Testing

Exercise i18n code paths with names, addresses, and phone numbers in 60+ locales.

Load Test Payload Generation

Pull large, reproducible JSON payloads to feed load generators.

Scroll for all 7

Integrations 4

Pre-built integrations with other platforms and tools.

PHP Faker

FakerAPI is a thin HTTP wrapper over the venerable PHP Faker library by François Zaninotto.

Postman / Insomnia

Trivially imported as a GET-only collection.

Microcks / Prism / MSW

FakerAPI payloads work well as fixture sources for HTTP mocking tools.

Frontend Frameworks

React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, and SolidJS all fetch FakerAPI JSON directly during development.
