What you get from a free mock REST API

Often you only need a URL that returns JSON, right now. Building a small server or a database for that takes longer than the task you are working on.

With Mockify you describe the data in plain text, press a button and get a link. The link answers GET requests with your data, and browsers can call it from any website because the answer allows any origin. It is read-only, so it is a REST-style endpoint for reading data, not a full REST backend.

What the endpoint does and does not do

It does

  • Answer GET requests with JSON: a data array and a metadata object.
  • Work without a login or an API key.
  • Allow requests from any origin, so fetch and axios work in the browser.
  • Stay available for 6 hours, or 24 hours if you extend it once.

It does not

  • Accept POST, PUT or DELETE requests to change the data.
  • Filter, sort or paginate: it returns the whole list.
  • Last longer than 24 hours.
  • Give more than 50 records per generation, or more than 10 generations every 15 minutes.

How to get a free mock REST API with Mockify

  1. Describe your data in the prompt, or pick a ready template such as Blog posts.
  2. Press Generate.
  3. Copy the endpoint link and call it from your code.

Paste this prompt into the generator, or press the button to have it filled in for you:

Example output

This example was written by hand to show the shape of the data. Your result will have different values.

Example output
[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "title": "Five habits for cleaner pull requests",
    "author": "Nora Whitfield",
    "summary": "Small changes, clear titles and one reviewer comment at a time.",
    "published_at": "2025-04-18",
    "views": 1284
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "title": "Why we moved our forms to server validation",
    "author": "Ibrahim Saleh",
    "summary": "What we gained, what broke and what we would do again.",
    "published_at": "2025-05-07",
    "views": 642
  }
]

Call the endpoint

Check res.ok before you use the data, so an expired link gives a clear error. Replace YOUR_ID with the id from your own endpoint link.

curl
curl -s "https://www.mockify.online/api/mock/YOUR_ID"
fetch
const res = await fetch("https://www.mockify.online/api/mock/YOUR_ID");

if (!res.ok) {
  const { error } = await res.json();
  throw new Error(error);
}

const { data } = await res.json();
console.log(data);

When to use something else

If you need to create, update or delete records and see them change, Mockify is the wrong tool. A local tool such as json-server turns a JSON file into a full fake REST API with all the methods, and a real backend keeps data for real. Use Mockify when you only need to read believable data from a URL for a few hours.
