Platzi Fake Store

About Platzi Fake Store

Platzi Fake Store API is a mock REST API designed for prototyping e-commerce or shopping website projects. It provides endpoints for products, categories, and users, with sample data covering clothing items, electronics, furniture, shoes, and miscellaneous categories. The API supports full CRUD operations, letting developers create, read, update, and delete records without restrictions.

The API includes pagination through limit and offset parameters, advanced filtering by price, title, and category, and JWT-based authentication with access and refresh tokens for testing protected endpoints. It also offers GraphQL support alongside its RESTful architecture, file upload capabilities via multipart/form-data, and AI-generated images for product visuals.

Ready-to-use configuration files for Postman and Insomnia are provided to simplify endpoint testing. The service is aimed at developers building or testing e-commerce application prototypes who need realistic sample data and standard API functionality without setting up their own backend.
