About Beeceptor

Beeceptor is a commercial hosted service for mocking APIs. Developers create an endpoint, point their application at it and see every request that arrives, while defining rules that decide which response is returned for each request.

Beeceptor is a proprietary, vendor-hosted service with no self-hosted edition. It is useful when a front end or integration needs an API that is not built yet, or when a third-party service must be simulated. Current features and plans are described on the vendor's site.
