DummyJSON is a free hosted fake REST API that serves placeholder JSON data (products, users, carts, posts, quotes, todos, recipes) for frontend development without a backend. It also offers mock auth with JWT tokens, placeholder image generation, identicons, custom response endpoints, and query features like pagination, filtering, and simulated delays.
Use cases
- get dummy json data for frontend development without a backend
- test ui components with realistic placeholder rest api data
- mock authentication and jwt login flows in a prototype
- generate placeholder images and identicons for wireframes
- create a custom mock api endpoint with my own json response
- practice fetching and paginating rest data in a new framework
- simulate slow api responses with delay for loading states
When to choose
- you need realistic structured JSON data instantly for prototyping, testing, or learning
- you want to skip building a backend just to test a frontend
- public APIs are unreliable, rate-limited, or require auth keys
- you need placeholder images or mock auth endpoints with zero setup
When to avoid
- you need a self-hosted or offline mock server
- you need production-grade, persistent, or writable data storage
- you require a specific license or contractual guarantees for the service
- you need fully deterministic data across long time periods
