Ressl

Ressl (ressl.ai) is a Y Combinator-backed platform that provisions hosted mock SaaS APIs for AI agents and evaluations. Its control-plane API lets you list the mock providers your organization is granted (for example jira, salesforce, slack, plus UI clones of Gmail Business and LinkedIn) and create a short-lived snapshot of one provider that returns a public HTTPS base URL your agent can call - no real customer tenant required. Snapshots carry deterministic or seeded synthetic data and expire on a TTL (default one hour, up to seven days). Control traffic runs on simulation.ressl.ai; provisioned mock traffic is served from *.mock.ressl.cc. Ressl helps teams train, benchmark, and deploy autonomous agents by giving them realistic SaaS surfaces to act against safely.

Ressl publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Providers API and Snapshots API. Tagged areas include Mock APIs, API Testing, AI Agents, Agent Evaluation, and Sandbox.

Ressl’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, support, and 15 more developer resources.
