Mockservice.io - we launch beta version of our mock REST API product
http://mockservice.io
Hi,
We have launched the beta phase of Mockservice.io. Our primary goal is to allow user creating frontend/backend without waiting for dependent APIs. Mocking API also can help in any kind of tests, like integration or automated.
Here's the link: http://bit.ly/2LgyVYQ
Let us know what you think!
All the best,
Mockservice.io team
Looks great although when the time comes to get the actual service APIs ready, is it possible to export out the mock services into an actual API?
To be honest we discussed about it a month ago (in the most dummy version, that convert endpoints to specified class/methods without implementation) and in our opinion it's not so important. There are a lot of technologies like .NET, Java, Go, NodeJS, Ruby, etc. with much more frameworks - so it's hard to cover all of them. Also we need to remember about fragmentation - each new version can bring some braking changes. So... we decided to add this feature to our list with low priority, but... user feedback is most important for us, because we can be wrong, and if there would be some additional interest, we will implement it faster.
I'm curious about why you chose to make it free, and if you plan to charge at some point?
Yes, we want sell mockservice.io in Saas model, but definitely we want to allow single users or small companies to use it for free - probably, we will impose some request count restrictions. Currently we have a lot to do before adding premium model, like High Availability, documentation, better support, some features etc.
This looks really cool and I can see it being quite useful. For API's that are already in use or have been partially developed, it would be good to import the starting point and then stub out the new endpoints or sample responses from there.
Will you be looking to add some sort of importer so you could import a postman collection for example?
Thanks you. Yes, we want to add import functionality, in first version we focus on import from Postman, CURL and Swagger.
