Inspiration
In the early phases of developing a prototype, realistic mock data is crucial for getting an authentic feel of the application. Because of the wide variety of data that is often needed, one has to use multiple services to get this. To save precious dev hours, we compiled a bunch of useful APIs for developers to obtain mock data of all formats in the AnyMock public workspace.
What it does
In AnyMock, open the collection indicating the nature of the mock data that you need, then pick the request preset that suits your needs. Depending on the API, you can modify the query/path parameters or the body to customize the results.
Most APIs are immediately usable in the workspace. For the handful of APIs that require authorization, please sign up on the corresponding service, and simply paste your API token in the "Tokens" Environment. Step by step details to accomplish this are embedded in the API comments when it's required.
What we learned
Postman:
- Variables
- Environments
- Debugging through console
- Authorization through Postman
- Postman Tests
What's next for AnyMock
We hope developers find these tools helpful! AnyMock will be continue to grow to support more data types and allow more customization options.
