mockAPI

mockAPI.io is a hosted mock API service that lets developers create custom REST endpoints, define resource schemas, and generate fake data for testing and prototyping web and mobile applications. Users define resources in a web UI and mockAPI provisions a fully working REST endpoint with CRUD semantics, custom response codes, and seed data so teams can prototype against realistic API behavior without standing up a backend.

mockAPI publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include API Mocking, CRUD, Mock Server, Mocking, and Platform.

The mockAPI catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

mockAPI’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, GitHub presence, and 6 more developer resources.
