Question 1

How do I create a mock endpoint with Mocky for testing?

Accepted Answer

Go to mocky.io, specify the HTTP status code, headers, and body content, then use the generated URL in your application to receive the mock response. It's designed for quick setup without coding.

Question 2

Is Mocky free for commercial projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Mocky is free and unlimited for all use cases, including commercial, but with no uptime guarantees, so it's best for non-critical development tasks.

Question 3

Can Mocky handle POST requests or other HTTP methods?

Accepted Answer

Mocky primarily generates static responses for GET requests; it doesn't validate incoming requests or support method-specific logic, limiting its use for complex API simulations.

Question 4

Mocky vs Postman mock servers: which is better for team collaboration?

Accepted Answer

Mocky is simpler and free for individual quick mocks, while Postman offers more features like environment variables and team sharing, making it better for collaborative workflows.

Question 5

How to simulate authentication errors with Mocky?

Accepted Answer

Set custom headers like 'WWW-Authenticate' or use status codes like 401 in the Mocky interface, but note that it won't validate actual authentication tokens or requests.

Question 6

What are the limits on the number of mock endpoints I can create?

Accepted Answer

Mocky has no stated limits on endpoints, but as a free service, it may have implicit constraints on traffic or storage, and reliability isn't guaranteed per the README.
