ReqRes

About ReqRes

ReqRes is a hosted REST API that provides stable, persistent test endpoints for QA automation and development. It includes pre-built collections (users, todos, orders, employees, posts) with sample data and full CRUD support, along with login and registration endpoints that return real tokens, status codes, and deliberate failure cases such as 401 for wrong passwords and 400 for missing fields. The free public API can be used directly for testing, or users can sign up to create custom backends with their own collections, authentication, and request logs.

The product is aimed at QA engineers building test suites with tools like Playwright, Cypress, and Postman, frontend developers who want to build without waiting on backend work, educators teaching HTTP/REST/auth concepts, and founders building MVPs without backend infrastructure. A separate offering, ReqRes for Agents, provides a sandbox at /agent/v1 for AI coding agents (referencing Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and Devin) with seeded deterministic data, a set of failure scenarios (rate-limit storms, malformed JSON, 3DS payment challenges), and exportable logs of agent request activity.

Pricing includes a free tier requiring no card, an individual Lite plan at $5/month (1,000 requests/day), a Dev plan at $12/month (persistent collections with custom schemas, 30-day request logs, automations on data changes), a Pro plan at $29/month (multiple projects, production app users, webhooks), a Team plan at $79/month (shared projects, scoped per-engineer API keys, 100K requests/day, 30-day logs), and an Agent Developer plan at $49/month (10 million requests/month to /agent/v1, all 15 agent failure scenarios, usage dashboard). A custom Agent Platform plan is available for AI coding tool companies. The page separately mentions a commercial "Lite licence" for workplace use of reqres.in, priced at $5/month or $48/year, that raises the limit to 10,000 requests/day.
