Fake API Generator Pro

Turns the schema you built in the Generator into a live local REST API, so a frontend can hit real HTTP endpoints before a backend exists. Requires Pro — the Free tier sees a full-panel upsell instead of this workflow.

Server Config

Port, HTTP method, endpoint route, response format (JSON/XML/CSV), response mode (a list or an object envelope), pagination defaults (with an option to disable the pagination envelope entirely), custom response headers, and OpenAPI spec import/export.

Request Log

A live table of every request the running server has served — method, path, status, timestamp, and remote address.

API Preview

Send a live request to the running server from inside the app and inspect status, latency, headers, and body — with adjustable page/limit query params.

API Reference

Auto-generated docs for the running server: the collection and item routes, a /errors/{code} endpoint for simulating error responses, pagination query params, and example response payload shapes.

Start a server

Define a schema in Data Generator first — the API server serves rows generated from that schema.
Open Fake API Generator → Server Config → set a port and route → Start Server.
Hit http://localhost:<port><route> from a browser, curl, or your frontend — or use the built-in API Preview tab.

Scripting the same server: the CLI's serve command — also Pro-only.
