FakeJSON

API

Generate realistic fake test data in JSON format

Overview

The FakeJSON API provides RESTful endpoints to create custom fake data sets. Users define schemas (e.g., user profiles, product lists) specifying fields like names, emails, addresses, or numeric values. Responses are JSON-formatted with randomized, realistic data. Use cases include mocking API responses for frontend testing, populating test databases, and prototyping apps without real data. It supports schema customization and locale-specific values to enhance data realism.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://fakejson.com')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
