API mock

The goal of an API mock is to offer a simulation of an API so that stakeholders can test it before it’s implemented. API mocks include simulated API requests and responses. This lets users interact with a simulated API to see how it behaves and how well it integrates with their existing tools. There are many benefits to offering an API mock, both for yourself as the API producer and also for API consumers. An API mock makes it easy to set up integration tests early on, even before the API is fully implemented. It also provides the opportunity to create prototypes of applications that use the API. It’s an add-on to the documentation you provide, as it lets users see how the API works without them even having to sign up. Finally, it helps you whenever you want to release a new version of the API. By having a mock of the new version, you can test its compatibility with existing users and tools and check whether there are any breaking changes with the previous version...
