Sample API For Testing

If you are testing frontend code, mobile apps, automation scripts, or learning REST APIs, you usually need a working API URL. Not documentation. Not setup steps. Just an endpoint that responds with JSON.

Below are public sample APIs provided by Beeceptor that you can use immediately. They are hosted, CORS-enabled, and return realistic data.

Ready To Use APIs​

Beeceptor provides a range of pre-built mock servers for common use cases. These can be incredibly useful for standard functionalities to help with dummy API to retrieve user profiles with photo, sample blog application, API for a list of sample companies, E-commerce API design for product lists, Crypto wallet's API design, etc.

You can access APIs by visiting the Beeceptor's Pre-built Mock Servers page and selecting the one that best fits your use case. These APIs cover a broad range of scenarios and are designed to be plug-and-play. Since these are CORS-enabled, you should have no trouble incorporating them into your web or app.

Here are some popular sample API endpoints.

Sample User API​

Returns a list of users.

GET https://fake-json-api.mock.beeceptor.com/users

Use this when:

  • Building user lists
  • Testing pagination
  • Rendering profile cards
  • Practicing API consumption

Each request returns a new set of users.

Sample Company API​

Returns a list of companies.

GET https://fake-json-api.mock.beeceptor.com/companies

Use this when:

  • Testing tables or dashboards
  • Practicing filters and search
  • Mocking B2B data

Sample Todo API​

Returns todo items.

GET https://dummy-json.mock.beeceptor.com/todos

Use this when:

Learning REST APIs

Testing CRUD-style UI

Running API tests

Sample Blog Post API​

Returns blog posts.

GET https://dummy-json.mock.beeceptor.com/posts

Use this when:

  • Rendering feeds
  • Testing content layouts
  • Practicing infinite scroll

Sample Geography API​

Returns continent data.

GET https://dummy-json.mock.beeceptor.com/continents

Use this when:

  • Working with reference data
  • Testing dropdowns
  • Practicing static data APIs

Sample E-commerce API​

Product and store-style API.

GET https://fake-store-api.mock.beeceptor.com/products

Use this when:

  • Building product listings
  • Testing carts and pricing
  • Practicing REST queries

Sample Crypto Wallet API​

Returns wallet-style data.

GET https://crypto-wallet-server.mock.beeceptor.com/wallets

Use this when:

  • Testing financial dashboards
  • Practicing secure data handling
  • Mocking transaction flows

Benefits of Using Beeceptor for Prototyping​

  • Speed: Beeceptor's intuitive interface and pre-built APIs significantly accelerate the development process, allowing you to focus on the application's core functionality.

  • Flexibility: The ability to customize APIs fully (response payload, response status, etc) or choose from pre-built options gives you the flexibility to match exact project requirements and move fast.

  • Realistic Testing: With features like response delay simulation and varied response based on request content, you can create a more realistic prototype. E.g. you can showcase a successful (200 OK) and failure (401 Unauthenticated) login based the password entered during a demo. simulate success and failure for login call

  • Ease of Use: Beeceptor has been crafted to prioritize ease of use and platform agnosticism, catering to users of all expertise levels in API or systems integrations. Modifications made to the mock servers are deployed instantly.

Need a custom sample API?​

Public sample APIs are useful when generic data is enough. Many projects, however, need APIs that match a specific request path, payload structure, or response format.

A custom sample API is useful when:

  • Your application expects a specific JSON schema
  • You need to test POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE requests
  • Error responses and edge cases must be reproduced
  • Multiple teams need a shared mock endpoint
  • Automated tests require deterministic behavior

Create a new API​

  1. Visit the Beeceptor page and sign-up or login
  2. Enter a name for your endpoint and click 'Create Endpoint'. This endpoint will be your dedicated server for the dummy APIs.
  3. Configure the endpoint by defining your API. This involves choosing a method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) and setting the path (e.g., /users, /products). Beeceptor allows you to declare JSON, XML, or plain text responses, making it versatile for different use cases.
  1. Copy the endpoint URL and use in the code to test the API.

With a custom mock endpoint created using Beeceptor, you can define your own routes, methods, response bodies, and status codes. The endpoint behaves like a real server and can be used directly in application code and test suites.

This keeps development moving while real services are still evolving or unavailable.

Why these sample APIs exist​

During development and testing, API dependencies are often the main source of delay. Backend services may be incomplete, unstable, or owned by a different team. Third-party APIs may require credentials, enforce rate limits, or change behavior without notice. These issues block progress even when application code is otherwise ready.

Sample APIs exist to provide predictable, always-available endpoints that behave like real APIs but do not depend on real systems. They allow developers and testers to focus on request handling, data parsing, UI behavior, and error handling without waiting for upstream services.

This is especially useful in distributed teams. Frontend, mobile, and QA engineers can work against the same API responses regardless of location or time zone. Test automation can rely on stable data. Demos and previews do not break due to backend changes.

Even with AI tools generating code quickly, integrations still need something reliable to talk to. Sample APIs fill that gap.
