Mock · Customer documentation

Create test URLs returning a chosen HTTP status and response body.

What you prepare

Decide on an example API response, such as JSON.

Steps in the workspace

  1. 01Set a path and response.
  2. 02Test the generated URL in a browser or curl.
  3. 03Use it as the API URL in your development app.

Example request / integration

Use fixed JSON at GET /products to build the UI before the products API exists.

# After creating a GET /products mock, copy the issued endpoint URL.
curl -i "$MOCK_ENDPOINT"
# Change status to 500 in the workspace to test an error state.

Examples use placeholders: replace $BASE_URL, $SESSION_TOKEN and issued URLs with real values. Never publish session tokens or API keys in a webpage or repository.

Management API entry point

HTTP method, path, status, Content-Type, and response body.
