A few months ago, I built a tool to generate fake data based on a JSON payload([fakeapi](https://fakeapi.amalshaji.com)). FakeAPI worked fine, but a major downside was that a JSON payload must be sent as a post request to receive data. This is not good for someone emulating any other HTTP methods. So I decided to build [Phoney](https://phoney.ml). **Phoney** is a mock API generator that lets you create apps to manage endpoints. Other features of phoney include, - Create apps to manage your endpoints - Create endpoints that return data in a custom format - Default API key authentication support - All methods, GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, supported. - Dynamic endpoints supported - Swagger UI for each endpoint. It makes testing easy. - Built-in JSON editor for creating endpoint schema - Supported response codes, 200, 201, and 202 - Syntax highlighting for JSON schema - Light/Dark theme switch > **This is my first ever Django app**

I built an API to generate fake data, which comes in handy when testing/prototyping the frontend. Data is generated based on a json payload. URL: https://fakeapi.amalshaji.com/ ![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/myE3TpDp9c.png)
