FakeStoreAPI

About FakeStoreAPI

FakeStoreAPI is a free RESTful API that provides realistic e-commerce data for prototyping, testing, or teaching, removing the need to set up a backend. It offers four resources: products (title, price, category, description, and image; 20 items), carts (simulating shopping cart logic with user, product IDs, and quantities; 20 entries), users (full profiles including name, email, and address; 10 entries), and a login endpoint that returns a JWT token for testing authentication.

The API is aimed at developers building or practicing frontend and backend e-commerce flows, including shopping cart, wishlist, and product listing features, without needing real store data or infrastructure. It has been used in projects and tutorials involving frameworks such as React-Redux, Flutter, Jetpack Compose, and Android/Kotlin, as well as integrations with tools like the Model Context Protocol for natural-language product queries.
