FakeStoreAPI

FakeStoreAPI is a free online REST API that you can use whenever you need Pseudo-real data for your e-commerce or shopping website without running any server-side code. It's awesome for teaching purposes, sample codes, tests and etc.

You can visit in detail docs in FakeStoreAPI for more information.

Why?

When I wanted to design a shopping website prototype and needed fake data, I had to use lorem ipsum data or create a JSON file from the base. I didn't find any online free web service to return semi-real shop data instead of lorem ipsum data. so I decided to create this simple web service with NodeJs(express) and MongoDB as a database.

Resources

There are 4 main resources need in shopping prototypes:

New! "Rating" (includes rate and count) has been added to each product object!

How to

you can fetch data with any kind of methods you know(fetch API, Axios, jquery ajax,...)

Get all products

fetch("https://fakestoreapi.com/products")
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((json) => console.log(json));

Get a single product

fetch("https://fakestoreapi.com/products/1")
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((json) => console.log(json));

Add new product

fetch("https://fakestoreapi.com/products", {
  method: "POST",
  body: JSON.stringify({
    title: "test product",
    price: 13.5,
    description: "lorem ipsum set",
    image: "https://i.pravatar.cc",
    category: "electronic",
  }),
})
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((json) => console.log(json));

/* will return
{
 id:31,
 title:'...',
 price:'...',
 category:'...',
 description:'...',
 image:'...'
}
*/

Note: Posted data will not really insert into the database and just return a fake id.

Updating a product

fetch("https://fakestoreapi.com/products/7", {
  method: "PUT",
  body: JSON.stringify({
    title: "test product",
    price: 13.5,
    description: "lorem ipsum set",
    image: "https://i.pravatar.cc",
    category: "electronic",
  }),
})
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((json) => console.log(json));

/* will return
{
    id:7,
    title: 'test product',
    price: 13.5,
    description: 'lorem ipsum set',
    image: 'https://i.pravatar.cc',
    category: 'electronic'
}
*/
fetch("https://fakestoreapi.com/products/8", {
  method: "PATCH",
  body: JSON.stringify({
    title: "test product",
    price: 13.5,
    description: "lorem ipsum set",
    image: "https://i.pravatar.cc",
    category: "electronic",
  }),
})
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((json) => console.log(json));

/* will return
{
    id:8,
    title: 'test product',
    price: 13.5,
    description: 'lorem ipsum set',
    image: 'https://i.pravatar.cc',
    category: 'electronic'
}
*/

Note: Edited data will not really be updated into the database.

Deleting a product

fetch("https://fakestoreapi.com/products/8", {
  method: "DELETE",
});

Nothing will delete on the database.

Sort and Limit

You can use query string to limit results or sort by asc|desc

// Will return all the posts that belong to the first user
fetch("https://fakestoreapi.com/products?limit=3&sort=desc")
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((json) => console.log(json));
