What is the fake users API?

This is a free hosted REST API that returns 60 realistic dummy users records as JSON. It works like JSONPlaceholder: read endpoints return consistent sample data, and write endpoints (POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) respond realistically without persisting anything. Use it in tutorials, prototypes, UI development, interview exercises, and automated tests — anywhere you need an API that always works and never needs a backend.

Pagination and filtering

Collections support JSONPlaceholder-style pagination via ?_page= and ?_limit= (max 100 per page). Every paginated response includes an X-Total-Count header. You can also filter with simple equality parameters: ?username= .

Sample record

Every user record has this shape:

{
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Pasquale Wiegand",
    "username": "pasquale.wiegand",
    "email": "pasquale.wiegand@example.net",
    "phone": "+1.315.890.5430",
    "website": "collins.biz",
    "address": {
        "street": "62962 Vita Roads Apt. 938",
        "city": "Port Abdullahville",
        "zipcode": "30424",
        "geo": {
            "lat": -21.086456,
            "lng": 8.912317
        }
    },
    "company": {
        "name": "Keeling Inc",
        "catchPhrase": "Focused intangible function"
    }
}

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Every endpoint on this page is free, requires no signup and no API key. Requests are rate-limited to 120 per minute per IP to keep the service fast for everyone.

No — writes are simulated, exactly like JSONPlaceholder. The API responds with a realistic success payload (your body echoed back with an id) but the underlying dataset never changes, so every developer always sees the same 60 records.

Yes. All endpoints send Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * and handle OPTIONS preflight requests, so you can fetch() them directly from any web app, CodePen or local file.

Use ?_page= and ?_limit= query parameters (JSONPlaceholder-compatible). The response includes an X-Total-Count header with the total number of records so you can render pagers.

That is exactly what MockServer does — create a custom mock API with your own JSON, status codes, latency and failure simulation in about 10 seconds, no signup required for Quick Mocks.
