      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey everyone! 👋&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a frontend developer, I was always frustrated by existing Mock API tools. They either limit your daily requests, require a credit card/sign-up, or hide cool features behind a paywall. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, I decided to build a completely free, unlimited, and &lt;strong&gt;zero-database&lt;/strong&gt; tool directly integrated into our developer community: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fikiral.net.tr/p/1-mock-api" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Fikiral Smart Mock API&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  What makes it unique?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It encodes your JSON data directly into the URL using Base64. This means your links &lt;strong&gt;never expire&lt;/strong&gt;, there is &lt;strong&gt;no data cap&lt;/strong&gt;, and you &lt;strong&gt;don't even need to create an account&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But that's not all. I wanted to make it a fully capable sandbox. You can simulate complex backend behaviors using just URL parameters:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;⚡ Server-Sent Events (SSE) Live Streaming&lt;/strong&gt;: Just add &lt;code&gt;&amp;amp;stream=true&lt;/code&gt; to your endpoint. It instantly converts your static JSON into a real-time stream (1-second intervals). Perfect for testing AI/ChatGPT-like typing effects!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;⏳ Network Delay&lt;/strong&gt;: Add &lt;code&gt;&amp;amp;delay=3000&lt;/code&gt; to simulate a 3-second loading/spinner state.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;❌ Custom Status Codes&lt;/strong&gt;: Add &lt;code&gt;&amp;amp;status=401&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;&amp;amp;status=500&lt;/code&gt; to test how your UI handles errors.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;🔍 Dynamic Filtering&lt;/strong&gt;: Add &lt;code&gt;&amp;amp;q=YourKeyword&lt;/code&gt; to filter matching values inside arrays on the fly.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;🔢 Pagination Limit&lt;/strong&gt;: Add &lt;code&gt;&amp;amp;limit=5&lt;/code&gt; to restrict your array responses.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  How to use it?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to &lt;a href="https://www.fikiral.net.tr/p/1-mock-api" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Fikiral Mock API&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Paste your custom JSON.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click &lt;strong&gt;"Generate Smart Endpoint"&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use the URL in your React, Vue, Next.js, or Vanilla JS projects.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I built this tool to give back to the developer community. Please try it out, break it, and let me know what features you want me to add next! &lt;/p&gt;
