Beeceptor
APIBuild mock REST API endpoints in seconds for testing & prototyping
Overview
Beeceptor enables instant creation of mock REST API endpoints for testing, prototyping, and debugging workflows. Users can define custom responses (JSON, XML, plain text) for GET/POST/PUT/DELETE methods, simulate status codes (200, 404,500), and capture incoming requests for inspection. Ideal for frontend developers testing UIs without a live backend, or teams simulating third-party API behavior. Endpoints are ready in seconds—no coding or infrastructure setup needed. It supports CORS, webhooks, and dynamic templating to mimic real-world API scenarios efficiently.
