Stop hardcoding fake data in your components. Get a real hosted HTTPS endpoint with realistic mock data — test your React Native, Next.js, or Vue app against actual HTTP requests, on any device, without spinning up a server.
Hardcoded data doesn't test the things that actually break in production.
Hardcoded arrays bypass fetch, axios, headers, auth tokens, and error handling entirely. A real API call to a fake endpoint catches serialization bugs, CORS issues, and timeout behavior that hardcoding never will.
When the real API ships with a different field name or structure than your hardcoded fixture, you find out at demo time. A fake API with the real shape means your component code matches production from day one.
Localhost with json-server or Mockoon is unreachable from a physical iPhone or Android device without ngrok hacks. A hosted fake API works everywhere — Expo Go, simulators, CI pipelines, team previews.

Because it's a real HTTPS endpoint, you can use it directly in React Native Testing Library, Jest integration tests, or Detox E2E tests — no mocking libraries required.
React Native Testing Library
import { render, waitFor, screen } from '@testing-library/react-native';
import JobList from '../components/JobList';
// Use your MockMyData endpoint directly — no mocking library needed
const BASE = 'https://myproject.api.mockmydata.io';
test('renders jobs from API', async () => {
render(<JobList apiBase={BASE} />);
await waitFor(() => {
expect(screen.getByText('HVAC Inspection')).toBeTruthy();
});
});MSW intercepts requests at the service worker level — it's great for unit tests but requires setup per project and doesn't work for real device testing. MockMyData is a real hosted endpoint, so it works in any environment: simulators, physical devices, CI pipelines, and teammates' machines with zero per-project config.
Yes — your MockMyData endpoints respect Authorization headers and can be configured to require API key authentication. This means your auth flow, token refresh logic, and 401 error handling can all be tested against the fake API before your real backend exists.
Yes. Because the endpoint is hosted at a stable HTTPS URL, it works in GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or any CI environment without any additional setup. Your integration tests can hit live endpoints on every PR.
Yes — because it's hosted on your project's subdomain (myproject.api.mockmydata.io), anyone on your team can call the same endpoints. No one needs to run a local server.
