Sample Products – Mock REST API for Practice

This public, open REST API provides data about 1000 fictional products for learning and testing purposes. You can use it to learn frontend web programming, develop mobile apps, learn to make HTTP requests, or make prototypes or demos for new ideas:

https://api.slingacademy.com/v1/sample-data/products

Parameters

There are 2 optional parameters that can be used for pagination:

Parameter	Description
offset	Determines whether to start returning data. The default value is 0
limit	This limits the number of results (for better performance and speed). The default value is 10

For example, you can send a GET request to the following API endpoint to get 20 products (starting from the 6th):

https://api.slingacademy.com/v1/sample-data/products?offset=5&limit=20

Data Structure

The response is in JSON format. Each product contains several fields, including id, name, description, price, category, photo_url, created_at, and updated_at. Note that they are meaningless and may seem ridiculous. Don’t use them for serious things:

Get a Single Product by ID

To retrieve a single product by id, use this route:

https://api.slingacademy.com/v1/sample-data/photos/[product id]

For example, if you fetch a product with the id of 1, the result will be like this:

{
  success: true,
  message: 'product fetched successfully',
  product: {
    name: 'Product 1',
    price: 778.69,
    category: 'physical',
    updated_at: '2023-03-03T13:57:09.399080',
    description: 'Others few us role set.',
    id: 1,
    photo_url: 'https://api.slingacademy.com/public/sample-products/1.png',
    created_at: '2023-03-03T13:57:09.399076'
  }
}
