Get a live Mock API URL in 10 seconds

Hosted API Mocking
Built for Modern Devs

Stop blocking frontend developers or hardcoding temporary JSON data. BuildIt lets you define custom endpoints, simulate latency or error codes, and generate mock data with AI instantly.

Why BuildIt

The Fastest Way to Mock REST APIs and Unblock Your Team

Stop sharing JSON files over Slack or hardcoding mocks in your repository. BuildIt handles hosting, latency simulations, and versioning.

Zero Local Setup

Get a live HTTPS URL in 10 seconds. No local config files, no local packages, and no node_modules bloating.

AI Response Generator

Type a brief prompt like 'e-commerce shopping cart' and get complete, realistic mock JSON data instantly.

Live Request Inspector

See every request hitting your mock — method, query, headers, and body. Debug frontend calls in real-time.

Core Capabilities

Everything You Need to Mock APIs Seamlessly

Features designed to match production API behaviors so your frontend looks, feels, and behaves like the real thing.

Mock Endpoint Builder

A clean visual editor to configure GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE paths, headers, and status codes.

Live Hosted URLs

Instantly get a public, shareable mock API endpoint accessible from curl, frontend applications, or QA test runner scripts.

AI Response Creator

Describe the schema in plain English, and the integrated AI will generate a realistic, valid JSON payload in seconds.

Delay & Latency Simulation

Add custom response delays (up to 5000ms) to test loading states, skeleton screens, and timeout handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services.

What is BuildIt?
BuildIt is a hosted API mocking platform that lets you define custom HTTP endpoints and get a live, public URL returning your configured JSON response in under 10 seconds.
How does the AI Fake Data Generator work?
Simply describe the dataset you need (e.g. 'e-commerce shopping cart' or 'user list') and our built-in AI assistant will automatically generate valid, rich JSON response structures instantly.
Can I simulate network delays or server errors?
Yes! You can configure an artificial response delay (from 0ms up to 5000ms) to test client loading states, and custom HTTP status codes (201, 400, 401, 500, etc.) to validate your frontend error handling.
How do I inspect incoming requests?
The BuildIt dashboard provides a real-time Request Inspector log, listing the request method, path, headers, query parameters, and request payloads for debugging.
Does BuildIt support dynamic route matching?
Yes, BuildIt supports parameterized paths using the ':id' syntax (e.g. /users/:id). In v1, it will match and serve your mock data for any parameter value, allowing you to test dynamic workflows.
Can I collaborate with my team?
Absolutely. Our Team plan features shared workspaces where you can invite teammates to build, edit, and access all mock projects under a single shared URL namespace.

Loved by Our Users

Their experiences speak louder than words

BuildIt completely unblocked our frontend team. We designed our API contract, mocked all the endpoints in 10 minutes, and kept coding while the backend team built the database.

Sarah Johnson

Lead Frontend Engineer at Canva

The AI schema generator is pure magic. I typed 'mock e-commerce shopping cart logs' and got a perfect mock payload in seconds. The delay simulator let us test all our loading skeletons before production.

Daniel Kim

CTO at NextLaunch

We decoupled our QA test runner suites from live staging APIs using BuildIt. The ability to return status codes like 401 Unauthorized or 500 Server Error dynamically is a lifesaver.

Emily Chen

QA Automation Lead at HubSpot

Local tools like Mockoon can't be shared easily, and Postman is bloated. BuildIt is exactly what we needed: quick, hosted, and shareable.

Raj Mehta

Frontend Developer at Zomato

The real-time request logs are phenomenal. I can see exactly what query params my frontend is passing without reading terminal logs.

Aisha Patel

Software Engineer at Swiggy

I prototype multiple web applications every month. BuildIt is my go-to tool for getting mock endpoints up and running instantly without writing server boilerplates.
