GraphQL Proxy API is wrapper around JSON Placeholder • Simple fake GraphQL API for testing & prototyping
This project idea is heavily inspired by the JSON placeholder's idea of having a fake API.
Here check out the idealogy behind creating something like a JSON placeholder Restful APIs.
Most of the time when, trying a new library, hacking a prototype, or following a tutorial, I found myself in need of some data.
And I didn't like the idea of using some public API because I had the feeling that I was spending more time registering a client and understanding a complex API than focusing on my task.
But I liked the idea of image placeholders for web designers. So I decided to code a little Express server inspired by that and, here is JSONPlaceholder.
- No registration required
- Zero configuration
- Basic GraphQL API
- "Has many" relationships (check out schema)
- Filters and nested resources
- Compatible with React, Angular, Vue, Ember, ...
API is avaliable on RapidAPI hub: GraphQL Proxy
You can also directly interact with the API using GraphQL's introspection feature to check out the available Queries & Mutations in Apollo's sandbox environment:
