BETA — Mock Data API

Mock Data API for Frontend & Mobile Teams

Persistent REST mocks with JSON or XML, bilingual AI schemas, and real CRUD — so your app can move before the backend ships.

No backend required to startSchemas in secondsEnglish & Arabic prompts

Complete Mock Data API Feature Set

From the free tier through Team agency workspaces — CRUD, bilingual schemas, exports, chaos simulation, and GitOps sync.

New

  • GitOps sync (GitHub)

    NewPro+

    Connect a repo with a PAT. On push or Sync now, upsert mock collections from OpenAPI/Postman JSON by public route — keep mocks in sync with Git.

  • Chaos profile & simulated 429

    NewPro+

    Persist latency jitter, random failure %, and per-route 429 rate limits on a collection. Pair with ?delay= / ?error= for one-off tests.

All features

  • Delay Simulation

    Pro+

    Add configurable latency with ?delay=500 to exercise loading states, retries, and timeout handling in your clients.

  • Error Simulation

    Pro+

    Force 4xx/5xx with ?error=503 or ?error=429 (Retry-After). Custom error JSON templates per collection.

  • AI Schema Generation

    3 / month

    Generate mock data schemas from English or Arabic prompts — with types, enums, patterns, and validation rules.

  • Multilingual Prompts

    Free

    Arabic mock API support built in — prompt in your language and get domain-accurate field names and formats.

  • JSON + XML Responses

    Free

    Same collections, dual formats on your mock REST API. Request JSON or XML with a header change — no duplicate schemas.

  • Real CRUD Operations

    Free

    Full GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE with persistent data — a true JSONPlaceholder alternative, not static JSON files.

  • Zero-Config CORS

    Free

    Test an API without a backend from localhost, Vercel, Netlify, or any origin. No proxy servers or browser extensions.

  • Live Inspector

    Free

    Browse, search, and edit records while you generate mock data — your app and the dashboard share the same live API.

  • SDK Code Generator

    Free

    Copy-ready client snippets for JavaScript, Python, C#, Go, and more — wired to your mock data API base URL.

  • Client model download

    Free

    Generate C#, TypeScript, Python, or PHP model classes from your collection data — one file per collection, or a ZIP of all collections.

  • Real Relationships

    Starter+

    Link collections with foreign keys (orders → customers) so nested mock data behaves like a real database.

  • Production Base URL

    Starter+

    One-click production base URL when you go live. Swap one config line — keep the same shapes and routes.

  • Webhook Simulator

    Pro+

    Fire simulated callbacks to test async integrations and webhook handlers end to end.

  • Snapshot & Restore

    Pro+

    Save collection state and restore it on demand — perfect for demos and repeatable QA scenarios.

  • Team Invites

    Pro+

    Share one tenant and plan with colleagues. Billing stays with the owner; members collaborate in the portal.

  • Agency Workspaces

    Team+

    Isolated client tenants under one subscription. Switch active tenant per client — separate collections and API keys.

Why teams choose MockHive

Stop waiting on stubs. Ship frontend demos faster with data that looks production-ready — including MENA-friendly bilingual schemas when you need them.

From prompt to live REST endpoints — bilingual schemas, real CRUD, and a hosted base URL you can swap when production is ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Mock Data API?

A hosted service that turns a natural-language schema into live REST endpoints with sample records. Use it to build UIs before the real backend exists.

Who should use MockHive?

Frontend and mobile teams, QA, and educators who need realistic HTTP APIs for demos, tests, and teaching — without standing up servers.

Is this a JSONPlaceholder alternative?

Yes for GET demos, and more for real work: persistent CRUD, AI schemas, bilingual prompts, JSON or XML, CORS, and exports when you migrate.

Is the free tier forever?

Yes — no card required. Free includes limited collections, records, and AI generations. See Pricing for Starter/Pro/Team limits, USD checkout, monthly vs annual, and upgrade rules.

How does billing work if I upgrade?

Paid plans are charged in USD from Billing in the portal. Same-interval upgrades apply immediately (prorated). Downgrades and monthly ↔ annual switches wait until renewal. Details and FAQs are on the Pricing page; signed-in users also have Billing & subscriptions in Help.

Can I use this for commercial projects?

Yes. Generated data is synthetic and suitable for commercial apps, client demos, and pre-production testing.

How do Arabic prompts work?

Describe the collection in Arabic or English. The AI proposes field names and sample shapes suited to your domain, including MENA-style demos.

Is data persistent CRUD or static JSON?

Persistent CRUD. POST/GET/PUT/PATCH/DELETE keep working across requests; edit rows in the live inspector, then swap the base URL later.

Do I need to configure CORS?

No. Browser clients can call the mock API from localhost or hosted frontends without a proxy.

How do I move to production?

Export OpenAPI or Postman if helpful, then point your client at the real API base URL. Keep the same route shapes where you designed them.

Do you offer refunds?

Paid plans follow our Refund Policy (typically within 7 days of a first charge, with fair-use limits). Details: /refunds
