Mock Server - Simple mock server for REST API

The simplest way how you can define mocks for your REST API.

DEMO

http://demo.mockapi.org/__manage

Installation

Install with pip:

$ pip install mock-server

Or install with easy_install

$ easy_install mock-server

And after run

$ mock-server --dir=/path/to/api

It will be listening on port 8888 and wait for your HTTP requests.

Overview

Mocking service is as simple as creating directory and few files within it just like that:

response content format: %METHOD%_%STATUS%.%FORMAT%
response headers format: %METHOD%_H_%STATUS%.%FORMAT%

root_dir/
    GET_200.json         # response content for GET /
    GET_H_200.json       # headers for GET /
    user/
        DELETE_404.xml   # response content for DELETE /user.xml?__statusCode=404
        POST_200.json    # response content for POST /user
        POST_H_200.json  # headers for POST /user

Or you can use web interface

http://localhost:8888/__manage/create

Mocked GET /user/tom

$ curl -v -X GET http://demo.mockapi.org/user/tom

> GET /user/tom HTTP/1.1
> Host: demo.mockapi.org
> Accept: */*
> 
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
< Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
