Guest Mode: Try Without an Account

Start building mock APIs instantly without creating an account. Perfect for quick prototypes and exploration.

What is Guest Mode?

Guest Mode allows you to use the full power of Mock API Builder without the friction of a signup process. You can create projects, define endpoints, and generate mock data immediately.

24-Hour Expiry

Guest projects live for 24 hours. A countdown banner helps you track the remaining time.

Full Feature Access

Create endpoints, use templates, and test APIs just like a registered user.

No Signup Required

Jump straight into building. No email verification or password setup needed.

Save Permanently

Like what you've built? Convert your guest project to a permanent one by creating an account.

Creating a Guest Project

  1. Click "Create Project" on the home page or navigation bar.
  2. Choose "Continue as Guest" if prompted, or simply start building if you're not logged in.
  3. Build your API using our intuitive schema editor or templates.
  4. Monitor the Timer: Look for the countdown banner at the top of your dashboard.

The Countdown Banner

Every guest project features a persistent banner showing exactly how much time is left before the project expires.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I share my guest project with others?

Yes! Guest projects have the same sharing capabilities as regular projects. However, the link will only work until the project expires.

What happens when the 24 hours are up?

The project and all its endpoints will be automatically deleted from our system. This action cannot be undone.

Can I have multiple guest projects?

Yes, you can create multiple guest projects, but managing them is much easier through a free account where they are all listed on one dashboard.
