QuickMocker is gone — here's a free replacement for custom mock endpoints

QuickMocker (quickmocker.com) was a hosted API-mocking tool with a genuinely nice feature set: define fake endpoints in a UI, template responses with 100+ shortcodes, capture requests in a live log, import endpoints from an OpenAPI spec, even forward captured webhooks to your localhost.

The website no longer exists. As of August 2026, the domain doesn't resolve to anything — DNS has no address records for the site (only mail forwarding remains), www is NXDOMAIN, and the Wayback Machine's last capture of any kind is from December 2, 2024. If your project's mock endpoints lived on QuickMocker, they're dead, and so is the dashboard you'd need to export them:

curl https://quickmocker.com/
# → curl: (6) Could not resolve host: quickmocker.com

Here's the same job on Mockbird — no signup, free, 10,000 requests/day per project (QuickMocker's free plan was 100/day and 500/month, behind a registration form).

Try it in 10 seconds (no setup)

The shared demo project has live custom routes right now:

curl https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/m/demo/health
# → {"status":"ok","service":"mockbird-demo","time":"2026-08-28T…"}

curl https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/m/demo/config/theme
# → {"key":"theme","value":"…","fetchedAt":"…"}   ← /config/:key URL param

Rebuild a QuickMocker endpoint in 60 seconds

A QuickMocker "endpoint" — custom URL path, response body, status, headers, dynamic values — maps to a Mockbird custom route. One curl to create a project, one per endpoint:

# 1. create a project (no signup — the response includes your adminKey)
curl -X POST https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/api/projects \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"name":"my api"}'

# 2. add an endpoint: URL params, templated JSON, any status/headers, ANY method
curl -X POST https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/api/projects/PROJECT_ID/routes \
  -H 'x-admin-key: YOUR_ADMIN_KEY' -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{
    "method": "ANY",
    "path": "/orders/:id/state",
    "status": 200,
    "headers": {"x-mock-source": "mockbird"},
    "body": "{\"orderId\":\"{{params.id}}\",\"state\":\"shipped\",\"checkedAt\":\"{{now}}\",\"trace\":\"{{uuid}}\"}"
  }'

# 3. hit it — any method, any id
curl https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/m/PROJECT_ID/orders/A17/state
# → {"orderId":"A17","state":"shipped","checkedAt":"2026-08-28T01:59:06Z",
#    "trace":"b7274971-e356-4ef0-900d-74a974d27b97"}

Prefer a UI? The dashboard has the same add/edit/delete route builder, plus a data browser and the request inspector.

Free-tier limits, side by side

What QuickMocker didn't have

• Full CRUD with real persistence — resources give you list/get/create/update/delete endpoints with seeded realistic data, filtering, sorting, pagination, relations. POST something, GET it back.
• Failure simulation — ?mock_status=503, ?mock_delay=3000, ?mock_chaos=0.3, deterministic ?mock_seq=503,503,200 retry drills on any endpoint.
• GraphQL — every project gets a typed /graphql endpoint with GraphiQL.
• Exports, no lock-in — OpenAPI, Postman collection, TypeScript/Zod types, db.json eject. If Mockbird ever disappeared the way QuickMocker did, one curl gets your whole mock out.
• Snapshots — save/restore named data states for deterministic tests.

Where QuickMocker was genuinely better

Fair is fair: QuickMocker's Local Forwarder (replaying captured webhooks to a localhost URL with no public address) had no equal here — pair Mockbird's inspector with a tunnel if you need that. Its URL matching was full regular expressions, where Mockbird does named :params and a trailing catch-all only. It could restrict by IP, and its shortcode catalog for inline dynamic values was larger than our placeholder set (we cover bulk fake data with seeded resources instead). If any of those is the feature you actually needed, Beeceptor (50 requests/day free) has proxy + rules, and webhook.site covers capture-and-forward.

Also in this graveyard: Mocky (discontinued, self-signed cert), Apiary (Oracle shut it down Sep 2025), requestb.in, hookbin, ptsv2, httpstat.us (unreachable). Hosted tools die — pick ones you can eject from.

Start now

# one curl, no signup — a whole seeded e-commerce mock:
curl -X POST "https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/api/projects" \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"name":"my api","preset":"ecommerce"}'

Or use the one-click dashboard. Docs: custom routes · request inspector · OpenAPI import.

This page is written by the Mockbird maker — bias disclosed. QuickMocker's disappearance verified live on Aug 28, 2026 (no DNS address records for the site, www NXDOMAIN, curl cannot resolve the host; the Wayback Machine's newest capture is Dec 2, 2024). Its feature set and free-plan limits above are taken from that last archived copy of quickmocker.com, so they describe the product as it was — if it ever comes back, re-check its pricing page.
