Platzi is the leading online learning platform in Latin America, offering thousands of technology, business, and marketing courses. For developers, Platzi (via PlatziLabs) publishes the free, public "Platzi Fake Store API" — a fully functional REST and GraphQL backend that provides mock e-commerce data (products, categories, users) with complete CRUD operations, JWT authentication, pagination, filtering, file upload, and AI-generated product imagery. It is a zero-signup prototyping API used worldwide to learn and practice building shopping and front-end applications, backed by an open source NestJS project.
