Our Story
FakeAPI.in was born from a simple idea: making API development and testing accessible to everyone, especially students and developers just starting their journey.
From Frustration to Solution
The journey that led to creating FakeAPI.in
Hi, I'm Vishal Yadav, the founder of FakeAPI.in. My journey into web development started like many others - with excitement, curiosity, and plenty of challenges along the way.
While learning to build web applications, I constantly faced the same problem: I needed to test API integrations, but either the backend wasn't ready yet, or I didn't have access to real data. Setting up mock servers was time-consuming, and existing solutions were either too complex or too limited.
I found myself spending more time setting up mock data than actually building features. That's when I realized there had to be a better way. What if there was a simple, reliable platform that provided ready-to-use mock APIs with realistic data?
"The best tools are born from personal frustration. I built FakeAPI.in because I needed it myself, and I knew other developers were facing the same challenges."
FakeAPI.in started as a personal project to solve my own development workflow problems. But as I shared it with fellow developers and students, I saw how many others could benefit from it. The project quickly evolved from a personal tool into a platform serving developers worldwide.
Today, FakeAPI.in helps thousands of developers test their applications, learn API concepts, and build better software faster. Our mission remains the same: to remove barriers in API development and make learning accessible to everyone.

Our Journey
Key milestones in the FakeAPI.in story
The Idea Was Born
While learning web development, I struggled with finding reliable mock APIs for testing and prototyping. This sparked the idea for FakeAPI.in.
FakeAPI.in Launched
After months of development and testing, FakeAPI.in was launched to help students and developers worldwide.
Growing the Platform
Planning to add more features, API endpoints, and educational resources to make FakeAPI.in the go-to platform for API testing and learning.
The Team
Currently a solo mission, but growing with community support
