httpbin kept breaking my CI/CD, so I built MockerAPI in 2 days

Hey folks!

Quick story: I was using httpbin.org for my integration tests. Worked great until it didn't. Random timeouts, sometimes down completely, and my CI/CD would just... fail. Super
frustrating.

So I built my own mockerapi.com using Claude Code and threw it on Cloudflare's free tier. Took about 2 days.

What it does:

  1. httpbin alternative - all the usual endpoints (GET, POST, headers, auth, delays)
  2. Status code tester - returns any HTTP status you want (200-599)
  3. Mock API generator - create temporary endpoints with auth for testing

Why it's better for me:

  • Actually stays up (Cloudflare's 99.99% uptime)
  • Fast (<50ms response time)
  • Free forever (Cloudflare free tier handles it easily)
  • No rate limits on the httpbin part

Tech:

  • Cloudflare Workers + KV + Pages
  • Total cost: $0
  • Built in 2 days with Claude Code (AI-assisted dev is pretty wild)

Been using it in production for a few weeks now - zero issues. Thought others might find it useful too.

Try it: https://mockerapi.com

curl "https://free.mockerapi.com/get?test=123"

Would love your feedback! What features would make this more useful for your workflow? Any suggestions welcome!
