Five APIs To Get Random Data For Your Project Demos

The best way to learn web development and coding, in general, is by building projects to apply your knowledge. These random APIs will get you started by providing fake dummy data for use in your projects. So, you can develop your application without worrying about the actual data.

Here are some APIs that we can use for dummy data.

1. DBM API

Whether you want to create a streaming application or an e-commerce website, the DBM API offers extensive dummy data that you can use to test your application thoroughly. The API has dummy data for movies, places, products, and users. The dummy product data returned by this API looks like this.

json
Copy
{
	"products": [
		{
			"tags": [],
			"_id": "618705bc8b76a09fc28d6b37",
			"name": "Chaz Kangeroo Hoodie-L-Orange",
			"sku": "MH01-L-Orange",
			"shortDescription": "This is a variable product called a Chaz Kangeroo Hoodie",
			"description": "Ideal for cold-weather training or work outdoors, the Chaz Hoodie promises superior warmth with every wear.",
			"countInStock": 50,
			"quantity": 5,
			"category": "Clothing",
			"categories": "Clothing>Men>Tops>Hoodies & Sweatshirts, Clothing>Collections>Eco Friendly, Clothing",
			"image": "http://eimages.valtim.com/acme-images/product/m/h/mh01-orange_main.jpg",

			"parent": "MH01",
			"rating": 1,
			"numReviews": 14,
			"availableSizes": ["L"],
