API Response Mocker

Generate realistic mock API responses with fake data using Faker.

Features

• Schema-Based Generation: Define response structure
• Faker Integration: Realistic fake data
• Nested Objects: Complex nested structures
• Arrays: Generate lists of objects
• Relationships: Reference other mock data
• Multiple Formats: JSON, XML output

Quick Start

from api_mocker import APIMocker

mocker = APIMocker()

# Generate user response
user = mocker.generate({
    "id": "uuid",
    "name": "name",
    "email": "email",
    "created_at": "datetime"
})

# Generate list of users
users = mocker.generate_list({
    "id": "uuid",
    "name": "name",
    "email": "email"
}, count=10)

CLI Usage

# Generate from schema file
python api_mocker.py --schema user_schema.json --output user.json

# Generate list
python api_mocker.py --schema product.json --count 50 --output products.json

# Generate with seed (reproducible)
python api_mocker.py --schema order.json --seed 42 --output order.json

# Preview without saving
python api_mocker.py --schema customer.json --preview
