Project Templates
Start with pre-built templates for common use cases and accelerate your development workflow
What are Project Templates?
Templates are pre-configured projects with endpoints, schemas, and mock data already set up for common use cases. Instead of building everything from scratch, start with a template and customize it to your needs.
Skip the setup and start developing immediately with pre-configured endpoints
Learn from well-structured examples that follow REST API conventions
Templates are starting points—modify endpoints, schemas, and data as needed

Customizing Templates
Templates provide a starting point, but you have complete freedom to customize them:
Adding Missing Endpoints
Templates sometimes don't include every endpoint you might need. For example, the Blog API template includes endpoints for listing all posts but might be missing "Get Blog by ID". Here's how to add them:
- Navigate to your project page
- Click the "Settings" button in the top-right corner
- In the Settings dialog, go to the "General" tab
- Click "Add Endpoint"
- Enter your endpoint details (name, description, data structure)
- Click "Create Endpoint"
💡 Example: For a Blog API, you might add endpoints like "posts/:id", "categories", "authors/:id", or "comments" to complement the template's base endpoints.
- • Add new endpoints via Settings
- • Edit existing endpoint contracts
- • Change HTTP methods
- • Update URL paths
- • Add/remove fields
- • Change field types
- • Update validation rules
- • Modify required fields
- • Change data generators
- • Add more records
- • Update sample values
- • Customize field patterns
- • Update base URL
- • Adjust rate limits
- • Enable/disable features
- • Set authentication rules
Why Use Templates?
Skip the initial setup phase and jump straight into customization. Templates can save you 30-60 minutes of configuration time per project.
Templates demonstrate proper REST API design, naming conventions, and data structure patterns that you can learn from and replicate.
Each template includes realistic data and proper relationships between entities, giving you a production-like environment for testing.
Maintain consistency across multiple projects by starting from the same template foundation, making it easier for teams to collaborate.
Best Practices
- ✓Review the template before customizing to understand its structure
- ✓Start with the closest match to your use case to minimize customization
- ✓Remove unused endpoints to keep your project clean and focused
- ✓Test the template as-is before making changes to see how it works
- ✓Use templates for prototyping even if you plan extensive customization
- ✓Save your own templates by duplicating successful projects (coming soon)
