We're building the tools we wish we had as developers.
Mockly began in 2024 when a group of developers found themselves repeatedly building the same mockup APIs for testing across different projects.
We noticed that every time we started a new frontend project, we ended up writing similar mock endpoint code just to get things working. It was tedious, repetitive, and slowed down our development process.
That's when we had our "aha" moment: what if we created a service that provided all these endpoints ready to use? A service built by developers, for developers, that would eliminate the repetitive work of creating mock APIs.
And so, mockly.me was born – designed to be the mock API service we wished we had all along.
To accelerate development workflows by providing instant, reliable mock APIs that let developers focus on building great products instead of writing test backends.
Eliminate the need to build backend mocks for frontend testing
Create an educational resource for API integration patterns
Provide free, accessible tools for developers of all experience levels
We believe that the best tools are those that disappear into your workflow. Our APIs are designed to be intuitive, reliable, and friction-free.
We're committed to being transparent about our service, our limitations, and our future plans. No hidden agendas or surprises.
We listen to developers and build features based on real needs. Our roadmap is shaped by your feedback and the challenges you face.
We strive to make our service not just useful, but educational. Good examples, clear documentation, and learning opportunities are built in.
We understand that even mock APIs need to be reliable. We're committed to maintaining high uptime and consistent performance.
We're never done. We constantly refine our existing services and explore new ways to make development easier and more efficient.
Yes, mockly.me is completely free to use. We may introduce premium features in the future, but our core API services will always remain free.
We have modest rate limits in place to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage for everyone. For most developers, these limits won't be noticeable during normal development and testing.
Mockly is designed primarily for development, testing, and demonstration purposes. While our service is reliable, we recommend using dedicated production APIs for live applications with real users.
Yes! We're constantly adding new endpoints and features. Follow us on Twitter or GitHub to stay updated on our latest releases and upcoming features. We also welcome feature requests from the community.
