Mock API Endpoint Generator — Create and Test APIs Instantly Without Coding
Developers, testers, and front-end engineers often need to simulate APIs before the backend is ready. Waiting for live endpoints slows down progress — that’s where the Mock API Endpoint Generator from TechNeg Tools comes in.
This free online tool helps you generate mock REST endpoints and realistic JSON data in seconds, perfect for frontend testing, demos, API documentation, or teaching API concepts.
Whether you’re building a React dashboard, testing API calls in Postman, or prototyping a mobile app, this mock API tool gives you instant, structured data that behaves like the real thing — without a server or code setup.
🧩 What Is a Mock API?
A mock API is a simulated API service that mimics the behavior of a real backend. It responds to requests with predefined or dynamically generated data.
Mock APIs are extremely useful during the early stages of development — especially when:
- The backend is under development.
- You’re testing API integrations.
- You want consistent, predictable responses.
- You’re demonstrating or teaching API concepts.
Instead of waiting for actual endpoints, developers can mock the responses and continue working on the frontend logic or integration code seamlessly.
⚙️ About the TechNeg Mock API Endpoint Generator
TechNeg’s Mock API Endpoint Generator allows you to generate REST-like JSON data instantly. The tool lets you define:
- API endpoint path
- HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
- Entity type (User, Product, Order, Post, or Custom)
- Number of records
- Custom fields (for custom JSON structure)
In one click, you’ll get:
- A mock endpoint example URL (like
https://mock.techneg.co.in/api/users [GET]) - A ready-to-use formatted JSON response
- Options to copy or download your mock JSON file
🚀 Key Features
1. Instant JSON Generation
Generate realistic JSON payloads with a single click. Choose your entity type and the number of records — the tool outputs structured, readable JSON instantly.
2. Custom Field Generator
Define your own fields like id, name, email, created_at, is_active and the generator automatically creates mock values that make sense:
id→ Numeric auto-incrementname→ “Sample Name”email→ “user1@example.com”created_at→ Current ISO timestampis_active→ Boolean toggle
You can generate any shape of JSON data you need for your tests.
3. Multiple HTTP Methods
Simulate endpoints for GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE methods — so you can prototype CRUD operations easily.
4. Copy and Download
Quickly copy your JSON data to the clipboard or download it as a .json file to use in Postman, Insomnia, or your project folder.
5. Responsive, Minimal Interface
The tool is designed in shades of gray, black, and white for a professional, distraction-free look that fits the TechNeg Tools ecosystem.
🧠 Why Developers Need a Mock API Generator
Let’s explore how and why this tool can accelerate your workflow:
1. Frontend Development Without Backend
Front-end developers often need to work before the backend is live. Using mock APIs allows them to:
- Test HTTP requests with realistic data
- Handle error/success states
- Build UIs that consume JSON data early
Instead of waiting for backend routes, the Mock API Generator provides placeholders that simulate the same responses.
2. API Integration Testing
QA teams and developers can test integrations by hitting consistent, predictable mock endpoints. This ensures frontend code is stable even when real APIs are unavailable or changing.
3. Demo and Prototype Projects
Demoing a dashboard or app? Need sample API data for a presentation or case study? Use the mock generator to produce JSON instantly, with meaningful keys and values.
4. Learning and Teaching APIs
If you’re teaching API basics, REST methods, or JSON structures, this tool acts as a live educational aid. Students can visualize endpoints, request types, and JSON formats clearly.
5. Creating API Documentation
When writing documentation, having example endpoints and sample responses is crucial. Instead of crafting JSON manually, you can generate them instantly using this tool.
🧰 Example Use Cases
✅ Example 1: Generate a Mock User API
Input:
Endpoint: /api/users
Type: User
Count: 3
Method: GET
Output:
[
{"id":1,"name":"John Doe","email":"john@example.com","created_at":"2025-11-04T10:00:00Z"},
{"id":2,"name":"John Doe","email":"john@example.com","created_at":"2025-11-04T10:00:00Z"},
{"id":3,"name":"John Doe","email":"john@example.com","created_at":"2025-11-04T10:00:00Z"}
]
✅ Example 2: Custom Product Schema
Input:
Endpoint: /api/products
Type: Custom
Fields: id, name, price, in_stock, created_at
Count: 2
Output:
[
{"id":1,"name":"Sample Name","price":"279.99","in_stock":true,"created_at":"2025-11-04T11:20:30Z"},
{"id":2,"name":"Sample Name","price":"483.75","in_stock":false,"created_at":"2025-11-04T11:20:30Z"}
]
You can now test this JSON in Postman, mock API documentation tools, or your own frontend fetch requests.

🖥️ How to Use
- Go to tools.techneg.co.in/mock-api-endpoint-generator
- Enter your endpoint name (e.g.,
/api/users) - Select your HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.)
- Choose a data type (User, Product, Order, Post, or Custom)
- For custom type → enter your fields separated by commas
- Set the number of records to generate
- Click Generate Mock Endpoint
🛠️ How It Works Internally
The tool runs entirely client-side (in the browser). When you hit Generate, it:
- Reads your selected parameters (endpoint, type, fields, count)
- Creates sample data dynamically in JavaScript
- Converts that data to structured JSON
- Displays it with syntax formatting inside a read-only box
No server calls, no database — just instant output powered by smart field detection.
In the future, TechNeg will offer an advanced version where users can actually fetch mock endpoints live (via WordPress REST routes like /wp-json/mock-api/...) — giving developers real API URLs to test against.
🔒 Privacy and Security
This Mock API Generator runs completely in your browser — no data is stored or transmitted to any external service. Every JSON payload is generated locally, making it:
- Safe for internal company use
- Secure for educational demos
- Reliable for privacy-sensitive projects
No tracking, no logs, no ads — just pure functionality.
