APIDog is a very procedural way to create a mock API. The main intention of the mock is to set up quickly and be ready to be consumed right there. I see tools like Beeceptor or Mockoon are designed for the same experience, where you can create APIs in a few setups. E.g. Beeceptor doesn't even require you to signup first. Just upload the payload and it's working.
Powerful. Front-end engineers should like it.
Yeah I believe so.
It's really interesting, despite the fact things won't be so smooth in reality: an initial specification of how the API responses should look like is likely to change while it is developed for real. But the approach might be useful in having an early and clear-enough idea of what the API should return. Having to make a few changes later, either client or server side, is still better than having to redefine the API completely because important requirements were overseen.
Thanks for the reply. I wrote a new article to answer this question, in which I used your sentence.😁
Hi, another approach is to use serverless API where you actually create the real API without the hassle of a server. And run your code against different backend spaces, i.e. mock/dev/stage/production.

Looks great!
But sure its not a one minute thing
sure indeed it really help
Thank You For The Information
Do you work for APIDog?
Great, thanks for sharing
we can also use Faux API platform, which gives us a lot of space to store values in APis and access it anytime we want, without any limits

This tool is great for paid services and offline API, but in real scenarios the backend generates de Open API specification, if you don't have the API you don't have the specification.
In many companies backend developers design API first. So API specification comes out before API is implemented.
great
