Mockae

About Mockae

Mockae is an open-source tool for mocking REST APIs using Lua code execution. It allows users to define rules that customize response headers, HTTP status codes, and response bodies based on the URL, headers, and payload of incoming requests. Lua rules are executed before the API response is sent and can override the returned response.

The project is available for download on GitHub and is free to use. It also provides a hosted public API (at api.mockae.com) for testing purposes, offering read-only endpoints for sample resources such as products, carts, users, and coupons, as well as a status endpoint that simulates specific HTTP response codes.

This is aimed at developers who need to prototype or test applications against fake API responses, including simulating specific HTTP status codes and customizing response content without modifying underlying data.
