FakerAPI

Overview

FakerAPI generates fake data for 10+ entity types — people, companies, products, addresses, texts, images, and more — as JSON/XML. Keyless and CORS-enabled, it’s a handy source of realistic test data for prototypes and demos.

⚠️ Status (verified 2026-08): repeated requests returned HTTP 502 Bad Gateway — the service appears to be having an outage. Verify availability before relying on it (the API docs are still at fakerapi.it).
