Mocka: Instant Mock APIs for Devs, No JSON Required!

A free tool to create mock REST APIs in seconds without writing a single line of JSON. it’s designed to help devs prototype, test, and demo faster.

Hey Product Hunt makers! 👋 As a frontend dev, I got tired of waiting for backend APIs to test my features. So, I built Mocka, a free tool to create mock REST APIs in seconds without writing a single line of JSON. Built with Next.js, MongoDB, and Faker.js, it’s designed to help devs prototype, test, and demo faster. Why You’ll Love It: Form-Based UI: Create endpoints (e.g., /api/users) with dropdowns for HTTP methods, status codes (200, 404, etc.), and response delays. No JSON hassle! Dynamic Data: Use Faker.js to generate realistic data like names, emails, or dates for your responses. Temporary Endpoints: Get unique URLs (e.g., mocka.ouim.me/mock/abc123/api/user) that auto-expire after 2 days. Analytics: Track how many times your endpoint is called for easy debugging. What’s Next? This is my side project, and I'd love your feedback to make it better. Want support for OpenAPI imports, custom headers, or team sharing? Let me know in the comments! 🚀

Mocka is a genuinely useful tool for front-end devs who are tired of being blocked by missing backend APIs. I tried it and was impressed by how fast and easy it is to spin up mock REST endpoints—no JSON, no hassle. It’s perfect for rapid prototyping, testing UI flows, or running demos without dependencies. A smart, time-saving solution built by someone who clearly gets the pain points.
