Any payload. One dependable URL.

Fixture data without the fixture server.

Free, versioned sample data endpoints for testing HTTP clients, parsers and integrations. No account, API key or fixture server is required. Every response is a static asset served from the edge.

Quick start

Use one stable URL

curl

curl -fsS https://payloads.mochavi.com/v1/users.json
Browser example
const response = await fetch("/v1/users.json");
const payload = await response.json();
Python example
from urllib.request import urlopen

with urlopen("https://payloads.mochavi.com/v1/users.json") as response:
    payload = response.read()

Common questions

What Payloads is—and is not

Is Payloads a fake REST API?

No. It serves versioned static files over GET. There are no simulated writes, authentication flows or request-dependent responses.

Can I use the endpoints from a browser?

Yes. Published v1 assets allow cross-origin requests and require no account or API key.

Will a v1 payload change?

No published v1 asset is changed in place. A future incompatible dataset belongs under a new version.

Can I verify the exact bytes?

Yes. The public manifest records the media type, byte size and SHA-256 checksum of every asset.
