RequestBin helps by letting us inspect what the client is sending, and Mocky.io creates dummy endpoints to send mocked responses. Beeceptor covers both in one tool letting you inspect requests and build mock responses. In addition, Beeceptor has one more capability. It routes the traffic to original Rest API when needed.
An endpoint is a sub-domain to serve as an API endpoint. These endpoints are public just like the real API endpoints. We call these as channels.
Anyone with the URL can send requests, anyone having link to the dashboard can view requests and responses. Each endpoint/channel gets a dedicated sub-domain as channel.proxy.beeceptor.com.
Rules help you send canned/pre-defined responses when a request path matches. You can get started by sending a request and then clicking 'Create Rule'.
Yes, out of the box. (1) All OPTIONS calls are accepted. (2) Any mock/rules you create, Beeceptor adds a response headers Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * making life easier.
Dashboard is a place you can intercept and review requests. Beeceptor acts as a router. When you make a request to channel.proxy.beeceptor.com, request & responses are routed to the dashboard page beeceptor.com/console/channel.
Proxy Setup helps you route request to target domain. Defining rules helps to mock specific requests instead of sending to target domain. For example, you can create a rule matching HTTP's GET method and request path /my/api/path and send 200 status code.
Free endpoints are public. Anyone having link to the dashboard can see incoming requests. Copy and share dashboard URL. On the dashboard, you see the number of online users for that endpoint.

We are working on HTTPs channels. Meanwhile, if you want to use this on an HTTPs page, just load unsafe content as shown below. We recommend this only for development and testing purposes.
Beeceptor is free for public channels/endpoints with a limit on daily requests. Feel free to spread your love and share feedback. We give awesome features for paid plans. (e.g secure and private endpoints, request history, APIs, etc.)
I've built a few fake APIs already. These helped us mock downstream API in our performance and integration tests. I think this should be a common problem for anyone in dev/qa roles.
Beeceptor is a request interceptor and a router. If the dashboard page is open, these are sent over web-socket to inspect. Anyone with dashboard page open can view and inspect request and response payloads.
The server persists information about the channel (like settings, rules, etc) and requests (like, target url, headers and payloads of requests and responses, no. of hits to an endpoint, etc).
Note: You are advised not to send production secrets, passwords or api-keys in any of these: headers/body/payload/url
