Managing Environments

Learn how to manage different environments for your mock APIs, allowing you to test across development, staging, and production.

Upcoming Feature

Environments management is coming soon!We're building a comprehensive way to manage different endpoint configurations for different stages of your application lifecycle.

Current Workaround:

For now, you can achieve similar results by creating separate projects for each environment or using dynamic response templates that check for environment headers.

Core Concept

What are Environments?

Environments allow you to define sets of variables and configurations that can be applied to your mock endpoints. Instead of changing individual endpoints, you switch the active environment.

Why use them?

They make your mock APIs more flexible and realistic. You can simulate production constraints, test different data sets, or point your frontend to different backend services instantly.

Planned Features

Environment Variables

Define key-value pairs (e.g., API_KEY, BASE_URL) that differ between environments and inject them into your response templates.

Quick Switching

Switch between Development, Staging, and Production instantly via the dashboard or using a simple header in your requests.

Environment-Specific Overrides

Override specific endpoint behaviors, status codes, or delays at the environment level without modifying the base endpoint.

Using Variables

Environment variables will be accessible in your response templates using the double curly brace syntax:

// Example Response Template
{
  "apiKey": "{{env.API_KEY}}",
  "service": "{{env.SERVICE_NAME}}"
}

During request processing, the system will replace these placeholders with the values defined in the currently active environment.

Common Environment Types

Development
  • Minimum latency
  • Detailed error messages
  • Sandbox data sets
Staging
  • Simulated latency
  • QA-specific data
  • Limited access keys
Production
  • Realistic production delays
  • Production-ready data schemas
  • Strict validation
