Mock API AI | About the Project

About Mock-api-ai

Mock API AI is a platform that allows developers to generate mock REST APIs using natural language prompts.

The system combines AI-powered schema generation, persistent data storage, runtime validation, and an interactive playground for testing API endpoints.

Frontend Dashboard

Generate APIs, test endpoints, edit request payloads, and explore dynamic CRUD operations through an interactive dashboard and playground.

Backend Engine

Handles AI-based schema generation, runtime validation, dynamic CRUD operations, and PostgreSQL data persistence.

Developer Use Cases

Frontend Development

Generate realistic APIs for UI development without building a backend first.

API Prototyping

Quickly create and test API structures during product discovery and development.

Testing & Learning

Experiment with CRUD operations, request payloads, and API workflows in an isolated environment.

Key Features

AI API Generation

•Generate REST APIs from natural language prompts using Groq (Llama 3.3 70B)

•AI generates schema, routes, and mock seed data in a single request

•Each API is UUID-isolated — endpoints operate in their own namespace via /api/:apiId/:route

•API metadata and records persisted in PostgreSQL using JSONB columns

Dynamic CRUD Operations

•Full CRUD on any generated API without writing any code

•Runtime Zod schema validation on POST, PUT, and PATCH — schema is fetched from DB and validated dynamically per request

•Drizzle ORM for type-safe database operations

•Centralized error handling with structured responses

API Playground

•Test any generated endpoint directly from the dashboard

•Real-time request body editing with syntax highlighting

•Copy responses to clipboard

Security & Reliability

•UUID-based API isolation prevents cross-API data leakage

•Runtime payload validation on all mutating operations

•Secure HTTP headers via Helmet

•Production error handling without stack trace exposure
