Beeceptor

Beeceptor’s 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 now includes a browser 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 to protect users from phishing and credential theft. Key details: 👉 Shows a warning page when a Local Tunnel URL is opened from a web browser. 👉 Helps users confirm they’re intentionally visiting a local tunnel. 👉 Protects against phishing vectors that mimic popular social or financial services to steal credentials. 👉 API traffic remains unaffected — the warning appears only for browser-based access. Beeceptor applies this warning intelligently and selectively - it appears only when a local tunnel endpoint is accessed interactively through a web-browser. This strengthens Beeceptor’s commitment to 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘂𝘀𝗲 while keeping it seamless for automation and API testing.

Start building your frontend with 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙌𝙇! We are thrilled to launch the GraphQL Mock Server, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙖 𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙖𝙜𝙚 (𝙎𝘿𝙇) 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚, fully-functional mock server. Upload the schema (or introspect a live API!) and get a mock server instantly. Here’s the magic: - 🧠 𝗔𝗜-𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮: Beeceptor analyzes your schema's field names, data types, and relationships to generate realistic, contextual mock data—not just random placeholders. User names look like names, emails look like emails. - 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗽: Upload your `.graphql` file or paste an introspection URL. Beeceptor validates, deploys, and gets your endpoint live in seconds. - 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲: Supports Queries, Mutations, and Subscriptions right out of the box, ensuring you can test the entire client-side experience. - 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗮-𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Every mock response is 100% type-safe and schema-compliant, preventing runtime errors and ensuring your data shapes are always correct. The fastest path from schema to reality is here: Try now https://lnkd.in/grSwr2Vm

"The greatest benefit of an API mock is that it lets consumers perform integration tests even before you implement the API. Being able to test how the API would behave as early as possible is what enables the alignment with consumers." https://lnkd.in/d7uFBs22

You can now use state variable filters in Beeceptor to build smarter, context-aware mock APIs. Key highlights: 👉 Personalize the API responses based on user/token preferences. 👉 Simulate retry logic by 'tracking counters' across requests. 👉 Enforce quotas or rate limits using counter thresholds. 👉 Model user journeys with cleaner mock rules. 👉 Build state machines where the state changes on each API call. This makes it easier to design realistic mocks without writing extra code or deploying a service!

Many software teams never test what happens when 3rd party APIs fail. The problem is, these failures are rare but critical, and if an app doesn’t handle them well, users see broken screens and checkouts, timeouts, etc. It is important to simulate and test these before they occur in production. In this video, you'll see how Beeceptor enables you to record-and-replay actual traffic, simulate failures, and validate error handling. This makes it easier to spot hidden bugs early, before they turn into support tickets or outages. https://lnkd.in/gHeEYBQH

How would you test an integration with OTP API that randomly fails 25% ⚠️ of the time? Real-world APIs aren't perfect: SMS gateways can timeout, fail under load, or throw random 500s. If you're not testing for that chaos, you're missing real bugs. With Beeceptor’s Weighted responses, you can simulate flaky API behavior and work out the chaos testing. E.g. define 50% success, 25% failure, 25% high latencies, and see how your app handles it. 👉 No backend. No setup. 👉 Break your app before production does. 👉 Take full control over the behavior of APIs for testing. Here is a quick demo: https://lnkd.in/e-X7PdGm

An API's success is measured by its developer experience! Poorly designed APIs create friction, slow down integrations, and frustrate developers 😤 . The goal should be a frictionless experience: 🌟 intuitive, 🌟 predictable, and 🌟 easy to adopt. Building a world-class API starts with disciplined design. Here's a comprehensive list of non-negotiable best practices. 👉 Reshare and tag your colleagues.

Need to simulate API responses for files or large payloads? With Beeceptor, you can mock APIs that return: 📄 PDF/reports 📦 ZIP 📊 CSV 🧾 Large JSON exports Just upload a file, set the path, and hit the endpoint - Beeceptor takes care of the `content-type` header and binary delivery. You can upload files up to 10MB. https://lnkd.in/g4V_Wu8h

Most devs avoid MOCK APIs because they're either - too much setup or - feel nothing like real APIs. But Beeceptor changes that. With built-in state: key-value store and lists, your mocks can remember things like selected seats, cart items, or uploaded files. No backend. Just real behavior. In this demo, we mocked a movie booking flow where seat selection persists across steps (and even page reloads!). Works great for carts, queues, or multi-step flows. Give it a try. Mocks can be powerful and painless! #mockapi #stateful #restapis #APIDesign

Support that goes beyond the product! Sometimes even beyond what we officially offer. This review? Completely unprompted. And yes, the support was free. It’s how we build trust, one thoughtful moment at a time. 💚 Thanks for making our day! #Beeceptor #CustomerSupport
