Mock API GeneratorREST APINo Backend Required

Generate a live mock REST API in seconds

Define your data schema, get a live hosted REST API instantly. No config files, no local servers, no Docker. Just real endpoints your React Native, Next.js, or Vue app can call right now.

How it works

From schema to live API. Three steps.

01

Define your data models

Use the visual schema editor to define your models, field types, and relationships. Strings, integers, enums, dates, email, GPS coordinates — all supported.

02

Get a live hosted REST API

MockMyData instantly provisions a real HTTPS endpoint on your custom subdomain. GET, POST, PUT, DELETE — all working immediately with realistic mock data.

03

Export your Django starter project

When your frontend is done, export a Django REST Framework starter project — models, serializers, viewsets, JWT auth — as a solid starting point for your real backend.

Live example

Define a schema. Get a REST API.

You define the structure. MockMyData generates realistic data and hosts live endpoints — queryable from any HTTP client immediately.

Your schema

Schema — MockMyData editor

{
  "jobs": {
    "id": "integer",
    "title": "string",
    "status": "enum:Scheduled,Enroute,Complete",
    "scheduled_at": "datetime",
    "customer_id": "integer"
  },
  "customers": {
    "id": "integer",
    "name": "string",
    "email": "email",
    "address": "string"
  }
}

Live API response

GET /api/jobs — live response

// GET myproject.api.mockmydata.io/api/jobs
[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "title": "HVAC Inspection",
    "status": "Scheduled",
    "scheduled_at": "2026-04-20T09:00:00Z",
    "customer_id": 42
  },
  ...
]

Everything a mock API generator needs

Full CRUD REST endpoints

Every model gets GET (list + detail), POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE out of the box. Filter by field, paginate results, sort by any column.

Relational mock data

Define foreign keys between models and MockMyData generates linked data — jobs with customers, orders with products — matching the exact shape of your real API.

Custom subdomain, live HTTPS

Your mock API lives at a real HTTPS URL on your custom subdomain. No localhost, no port forwarding, no ngrok. Works on any device, any network.

State persistence per session

POST a new record, GET it back. PUT an update, see it reflected. Your mock API behaves like a real server — state persists across requests within your session.

Who uses a mock API generator

React Native & Expo developers

Build your entire mobile app against live mock endpoints before a single line of backend code is written. Iterate on UI without waiting on API contracts.

See React Native example →

Frontend teams

Unblock frontend development from backend timelines. Generate a fake REST API for your Next.js, Vue, or Angular app and ship UI independently.

Fake API for testing →

Django developers

Design your API schema visually, validate it with a real frontend, then export a Django REST Framework starter project to kick off your backend.

Mock API generator — common questions

How is MockMyData different from json-server or Mockoon?

json-server and Mockoon run locally — you need Node.js installed, a running process, and port forwarding to share with teammates or test on a real device. MockMyData generates a fully hosted HTTPS endpoint on a custom subdomain. No setup, no process to keep running, accessible from any device or CI environment.

Can I use this mock API with React Native and Expo?

Yes — because your mock API is a real HTTPS URL, it works with Expo Go, bare React Native, and any simulator or physical device. No localhost workarounds required.

What happens when I'm ready for a real backend?

Click export. MockMyData generates a Django REST Framework starter project with models, serializers, viewsets, and JWT authentication — matching the exact schema and response shape of your mock API. You use it as a starting point and build from there.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. The free tier is permanent and includes full REST API generation, custom subdomains, and Django export. No credit card required to start.
