What is SmartMock.io?
SmartMock.io is a cloud-based solution designed for developers and teams who need to simulate HTTP APIs quickly and reliably. By providing hosted API mocks, the platform allows users to build, test, and validate integrations without being blocked by unavailable or unfinished third-party services. With features like static, template, dynamic, and proxy mocks, SmartMock.io enhances the speed and stability of software delivery by eliminating flaky tests and supporting comprehensive testing of edge cases, faults, and timeouts.
The platform supports workspace organization, multi-user collaboration, and seamless mock configuration through request-matching mechanisms and detailed workspace management. Integration with API descriptions such as OpenAPI or Swagger allows immediate mock creation, enabling fast feedback cycles and uninterrupted development. Users benefit from stateful behavior simulations, delayed responses, and automated quota tracking, all in a secure and collaborative environment.
Features
- Cloud-Based Mocking: Instantly deploy API mocks with unique HTTP(S) workspace URLs.
- Multiple Mock Types: Create static, template, dynamic, and proxy mocks.
- Request Matching: Match requests by path, query parameters, headers, bodies, and cookies.
- OpenAPI/Swagger Import: Import API documentation directly to speed up mock creation.
- Fault & Delay Simulation: Test error scenarios and delayed responses for robust integrations.
- Workspace Organization: Manage mocks within isolated containers for different APIs or environments.
- Team Collaboration: Share and manage mocks with multiple team members for joint development.
- Stateful Behavior: Simulate API state changes to replicate complex workflows.
- Quota Tracking: Monitor usage of requests, workspaces, and mocks within your account.
- Support for Corner Case Testing: Test edge cases and connectivity issues without live APIs.
Use Cases
- Testing software integrations before third-party APIs are available.
- Simulating API faults, timeouts, and edge cases during QA testing.
- Running acceptance tests independently of real external services.
- Speeding up feedback loops in continuous integration pipelines.
- Demonstrating product features without failing due to API outages.
- Collaboration on API contracts and designs with business partners.
- Managing isolated test environments for multiple API versions or teams.
- Reducing transaction costs from billable third-party API usage.
FAQs
-
Does SmartMock.io offer a free plan?
Yes, SmartMock.io provides a free plan that allows users to test key features with limited request and workspace quotas. -
How is usage measured on SmartMock.io?
Usage is tracked in terms of requests to mocks, workspaces, mocks, teams, and team members, with clear quotas depending on the selected plan. -
Can SmartMock.io simulate error and timeout scenarios?
Yes, the platform supports fault and delay simulations to test how your application reacts to errors or slow responses from APIs. -
How can I organize different mocks and environments?
Mocks are organized into workspaces, each with a unique URL, allowing you to separate different APIs and environments effectively. -
Is it possible to collaborate with team members?
SmartMock.io supports team collaboration, enabling you to manage and share API mocks with multiple users based on your subscription.
