MockAPI

MockAPI lets users create REST API endpoints, generate custom data, and operate on it through a RESTful interface. Each project receives a unique base URL shared by its endpoints. Users define resource schemas and field-level generators, including Faker.js functions such as lorem.sentences and datatype.boolean. Relations between resources can be configured, with endpoints generated automatically. Generated resources support GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE operations. Listed query capabilities include pagination, sorting, filtering, data generation, and customizable responses, and OpenAPI import is supported. The service is described for prototyping, testing, and learning. Documentation covers projects, resources, data generation, code examples, filtering, pagination, and relations. The Free plan costs nothing for 1 project and 2 resources. Paid monthly access costs $5 a month, and paid annual access costs $35 a year; each paid plan allows 20 projects and 50 resources. Custom endpoints and webhooks are marked coming soon.
