Frequently Asked Questions

Using our API is incredibly simple! Just make standard HTTP requests to our endpoints. No authentication, no API keys, no complicated setup required.

Here's a simple example using JavaScript fetch:

// Get all users
const users = await fetch('https://fake-rest-api-mobile-apps.vercel.app/api/users')
  .then(response => response.json());

console.log(users); // Array of user objects

You can also use any HTTP client like Postman, Insomnia, or curl:

curl https://fake-rest-api-mobile-apps.vercel.app/api/users

Perfect for React Native, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin, and any other mobile development framework!

We implement fair rate limiting to ensure good performance for everyone. Our limits are generous for development and testing purposes:

Every API response includes helpful headers:

• X-RateLimit-Limit: Your total rate limit
• X-RateLimit-Remaining: Requests remaining in current window
• X-RateLimit-Reset: When the rate limit resets
• X-RateLimit-Category: Either 'read' or 'write'

If you exceed the rate limit, you'll receive a 429 Too Many Requests response with details about when you can try again.

Our API provides realistic, varied data perfect for mobile app testing:

• Users: Complete profiles with names, emails, addresses, phone numbers, and company info
• Posts: Blog-style content with titles, body text, tags, categories, and engagement metrics
• Products: E-commerce items with prices, descriptions, categories, ratings, and images
• Comments: User feedback and discussions with likes and timestamps
• Todos: Task management data with priorities, due dates, and completion status

All data is generated using realistic patterns and includes helpful metadata like timestamps, IDs, and relationships between entities.

Important Note: All data is randomly generated on each request. User IDs range from 1-100, so filtering by specific IDs may return empty results if no data exists for that ID. This is normal behavior for a fake API!

Yes! Our API supports all CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) for testing purposes:

• GET: Retrieve data (users, posts, products, etc.)
• POST: Create new resources
• PUT: Update existing resources
• DELETE: Remove resources

This is perfect for testing:

• Form submissions in your mobile app
• User registration flows
• Content creation features
• Edit and delete functionality
• Error handling scenarios

No, this is for testing and development only. This API is designed specifically for:

    const response = await fetch(
      'https://fake-rest-api-mobile-apps.vercel.app/api/users'
    );
    const users = await response.json();
