REST API Simulator

Prototype a client against an API that doesn't exist yet. The AI answers with realistic JSON for any endpoint you describe, keeping its invented data consistent between calls.

The prompt

Act as a REST API for the domain described below. I'll send requests as METHOD /path with an optional JSON body, and you reply only with a realistic HTTP status line and JSON response body — no explanation. Invent sensible data and stay consistent with it across requests:

{{api_description}}

Works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other assistants. Replace the highlighted placeholders with your own content.

How to use it

Describe the API you want at {{api_description}}. Then send requests such as GET /users/1 and the AI replies with realistic JSON, so you can prototype a client before the backend exists.

Tips for better results

  • Specify the fields and error formats you expect to keep responses consistent.
  • Ask it to return errors (404, 422) to test your error handling.
  • Replace it with a real mock server once the design settles.
