I recently started working on a frontend application, basically using ReactJS. As we know, not all frontend frameworks have the ability to communicate directly with databases for performing database operations. 

Therefore, for my testing purposes, I have created a Free rest API for testing without authentication. I have hosted this API on a server so that any other developer who wants to access a free REST API for testing, without authentication, can consume the endpoints and perform testing.

Sometimes, while developing hybrid applications, Windows applications, mobile apps, or web applications, we need sample REST API URLs for testing JSON. That's why we have created a list of dummy free REST APIs without authentication for developers, application developers, and QA testers for demo and testing purposes.

REST API uses HTTP as its underlying communication method. These services can then be consumed by a broad range of clients, including browsers, mobile applications, desktop applications, and IoT devices

If you need sample JSON data for testing or more API-like JSON REST API examples, you can take a look at the article below.

In this post, We will cover the following points

  • Public Sample rest API url for testing json
  • Sample REST API for testing in Postman

Sample rest web service URL for testing

Api Base Url- http://samplerestapi.com

musiclover

Sample rest API URL for testing without authentication

Here, we have listed publicly accessible sample REST API URLs for testing JSON for free. This means you don’t need to pass any security API key in the API request. Additionally, you can consume all of these endpoints in JavaScript applications. All endpoints are CORS enabled, meaning they can respond to your AJAX requests. In other words, they support AJAX calls and are CORS enabled APIs.

if you want to use the API with authentication please follow the below link
