Detailed instructions

1. Type your resource name into the Resource field, using lowercase and hyphens for multi-word names like 'blog-posts'.
2. Set the Number of Endpoints to match how many routes you need, from a minimal CRUD set up to a full extended API.
3. Choose a Format: plain for route tables, curl for Postman import, or markdown for documentation pages.
4. Click Generate to produce the endpoint definitions, then review the methods, paths, and status codes in the output.
5. Copy the output and paste it into your mock server config, Postman import dialog, or documentation file.

Use Cases

• •Seeding a Postman collection by importing curl output via File > Import before a backend is deployed
• •Configuring json-server or Mockoon with realistic resource paths so UI engineers can build against live-looking routes
• •Pasting markdown output directly into a GitHub README or Confluence page as a quick API reference table
• •Generating route stubs for integration test fixtures in Jest or Supertest that need real-looking endpoint definitions
• •Sketching a multi-resource API surface during a system design interview or RFC review

Tips

• →Use the curl format and import directly into Postman — it saves building each request manually and preserves the HTTP method.
• →For system design practice, generate endpoints for two or three related resources like 'orders', 'products', and 'customers' to sketch a realistic multi-resource API.
• →Hyphenated resource names like 'line-items' follow REST URL conventions better than camelCase; the generator will reflect whatever you enter.
• →Set count to 4 or 5 for a clean minimal API during early prototyping — extra routes add noise when the data model isn't settled yet.
• →Combine the markdown output with a Mermaid entity diagram in a README to give reviewers both the routes and the data structure in one document.
• →When using with Mockoon, the plain text output makes it easy to manually add each route since Mockoon requires entering method and path separately.
