In their own words
DummyJSON
DummyJSON is a free hosted REST API that supplies fake JSON data for frontend development, building, and testing without backend setup. Its listed resources include products, carts, users, posts, comments, quotes, todos, recipes, images, and authentication. Requests can use limit, skip, and select parameters; a limit of zero returns all items. A delay parameter simulates responses from 0 to 5000 milliseconds. Developers can create a hosted mock endpoint with their own JSON response and select GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE. These endpoints last 90 days and accept response bodies up to 300 KB. The webhook inspector captures incoming requests for debugging and supports all HTTP methods; endpoints remain live for 24 hours, store up to 100 requests, and accept payloads up to 300 KB. Authorization, cookie, and x-api-key headers are removed before storage. Additional tools include a TOTP generator for base32 secrets and otpauth URIs, plus authentication examples for login, access and refresh tokens, and authenticated resource access. Product changes simulate requests but do not alter stored server data.
