Create hosted mock APIs and test data in minutes.
MockNow gives you instant hosted endpoints, reusable saved APIs, and custom data models in one visual workflow. Skip backend wait time, skip config-heavy setup, and keep shipping.
Hosted Mock API
/api/mocknow/customer-profile
{
"id": "cus_1024",
"name": "Avery Cole",
"status": "active",
"plan": "starter"
}Model Generator
Define fields once and generate datasets on demand.
Workspace Flow
Save mocks and models, then return to them anytime.
Free tier available
Start in the playground immediately and move into a saved workspace when you are ready.
Hosted URLs instantly
Turn a response into a live endpoint you can share with teammates, demos, and test environments.
No backend required
Keep frontend work moving while backend contracts, states, and edge cases are still in progress.
Built for developers
Simple visual controls, realistic responses, and reusable models without config-heavy setup.
Mock APIs and data generation, together.
MockNow is easier to understand because it solves two related problems in one place: creating live mock endpoints and generating realistic data to power the interfaces that use them.
Hosted Mock APIs
Create live mock endpoints from JSON, text, HTML, or XML responses and share them right away.
Paste a response and publish it to a hosted URL
Simulate slow APIs, errors, empty states, and happy paths
Save important mocks into your dashboard for reuse
Custom Data Models
Define reusable models, adjust dataset size, preview output, and generate realistic data when you need it.
Build your own model fields and record counts visually
Import CSV structure to speed up dataset setup
Preview and download generated output for development and demos
Better outcomes, not just more controls.
The strongest part of MockNow is that it turns common development blockers into a simpler, faster workflow.
Build frontend without waiting on backend
Ship screens, flows, and prototypes sooner by standing up mock APIs in minutes instead of waiting on service implementation.
Test success, failures, and slow states fast
Validate loading spinners, empty states, auth issues, rate limits, and server errors before integration starts.
Keep data generation in the same workflow
Create realistic sample datasets beside your APIs so demos, QA runs, and local development all stay in sync.
Visual workflow over setup overhead
Spend your time shaping responses and data instead of wiring repo config or maintaining a mock server just to get moving.
Playground now, workspace later
Start with a fast playground flow, then save the mocks and model definitions worth keeping in your dashboard.
Faster onboarding for real work
Teams can understand the tool quickly because the workflow mirrors what they are already trying to accomplish.
Made for the teams that need to move before everything is ready.
MockNow fits best when speed, clarity, and realistic behavior matter more than heavyweight setup.
Frontend teams
Unblock UI development when backend work is still catching up.
QA and testing
Exercise edge cases, error paths, and response timing without waiting for production-like services.
Agencies and demos
Share polished endpoints and realistic data with clients and stakeholders quickly.
Startups and product teams
Prototype faster, validate flows earlier, and tighten feedback loops before the real API lands.
Students and educators
Teach API-driven UI work with a simpler workflow and less setup overhead.
Indie builders
Keep momentum high with one place for mocks, data generation, and saved workspace assets.
Start free, prove the workflow, expand when you need more.
MockNow is already useful before a team ever upgrades. The playground gets people moving fast, and the saved workspace gives them room to keep what matters.
Public Playground
Best for quick tests, demos, and trying MockNow with zero setup.
No signup required to get started.
Fast disposable mocks for rapid frontend work.
Great way to test the API builder and data generator immediately.
Free Account Workspace
Best for reusable assets, saved APIs, and ongoing product work.
Save up to 5 active APIs in your dashboard.
Includes reusable model definitions and account-backed workspace flows.
Includes 2,500 monthly requests on the free plan.
Clear answers before you commit to a workflow.
MockNow is designed to be quick to understand. These are the questions most teams ask before they start using it in real work.
What is MockNow best used for?
MockNow is built for frontend development, QA, demos, prototypes, and any workflow where you need a live API response before the real backend is ready.
Do I need an account to try it?
No. You can start in the public playground right away. Create an account when you want saved endpoints, reusable models, and an ongoing workspace.
Can I save and manage endpoints later?
Yes. Signed-in users can save endpoints in the dashboard, edit them over time, and keep model definitions alongside the APIs they support.
Does MockNow generate data too?
Yes. MockNow includes a custom data model generator so you can define fields, preview results, and export realistic datasets for development, QA, and demos.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. The playground is free to use, and free accounts include saved workspace features with usage limits that are enough to validate the workflow before upgrading.
