ReqRes

Hosted fake REST backend for paginated users and auth flows; free key, no card

ReqRes is a hosted fake REST API for prototyping front-ends and testing HTTP flows: paginated users, single resources, simulated register/login returning tokens, and delayed responses. As of 2025 it requires a free API key (sent via x-api-key) but signup takes seconds and needs no credit card. Writes are simulated, not persisted.
