JSONPlaceholder
Fake REST API for prototyping; posts, users, todos, comments out of the box
JSONPlaceholder is a free fake REST API serving canned JSON for posts, comments, albums, photos, todos and users. It is the go-to placeholder backend for tutorials, demos and front-end prototypes. Writes are simulated (they return a plausible response but nothing is persisted).
