What Mockoon is

Mockoon is a free, open-source tool for designing and running mock APIs locally. It supports the OpenAPI specification and fits into existing applications and API design workflows. You can create mock behavior with dynamic templates, rule matching, JSON databases, proxy mode, webhooks, and TLS. It can record requests and responses from a real API to create mocks, and supports proxying and integration testing. The open-source version allows unlimited mock APIs and routes to run in parallel. Its command-line interface can run mocks in automated environments such as CI, GitHub Actions, and Docker; mocks can also run in serverless environments including AWS Lambda and GCP/Firebase Functions. The desktop app stores mocks locally, works offline without an account, and reports no mock content or request data to Mockoon. Pro adds real-time team collaboration, synchronized mocks, and deployment management on private infrastructure. It can be self-hosted on-premises, in a private cloud, or on isolated networks. The free plan is available, with paid options from $100/mo (annual).
