Beeceptor
Beeceptor is an API mocking, HTTP debugging, and proxy platform that lets developers create mock servers instantly without any coding. It supports REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and gRPC mocking, provides real-time HTTP traffic inspection, webhook testing, local tunneling, and AI-powered spec generation. Teams use Beeceptor to unblock frontend, backend, and QA workflows by simulating APIs before they are built or while avoiding dependencies on live services.

Features
Capture and inspect HTTP headers, request/response bodies, and status codes in real time as traffic flows through your mock or proxy endpoints.
Create mock servers for REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs instantly with flexible request matching rules and dynamic response generation, no coding required.
Wrap any live API endpoint with a Beeceptor subdomain to intercept, inspect, and selectively override traffic using man-in-the-middle proxy functionality.
Bind localhost services to persistent public HTTPS endpoints for webhook testing, live local debugging, and sharing local services with teammates.
Upload an OpenAPI YAML or JSON specification to instantly create a fully functional mock server with one click, no manual rule creation needed.
Generate realistic mock servers from natural language prompts or live traffic, using AI to synthesize responses for REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and gRPC.
Simulate network delays, timeouts, connection resets, and HTTP error codes to validate how applications handle failure scenarios.
Record live API interactions and automatically generate mock rules from real traffic captures, enabling rapid mock creation from production behavior.
Monitor for drift between live API behavior and the OpenAPI contract to detect breaking changes and schema violations over time.
Set maximum request limits per second, minute, or hour on endpoints to test application behavior under throttled or rate-limited conditions.
Scale and Enterprise plans unlock the Beeceptor management API for programmatic creation and management of endpoints and rules in CI/CD pipelines.
Configure custom domain names for mock endpoints on Scale and Enterprise plans, enabling team-branded or environment-specific endpoint URLs.
Mutual TLS support for secure proxy configurations requiring client certificate authentication in enterprise environments.
Enterprise plan includes Single Sign-On (SSO) integration and full audit logging for compliance and access governance.
Use Cases
Build and test frontend applications against mock APIs without waiting for backend APIs to be ready, removing cross-team blocking dependencies.
Mock downstream microservices and third-party APIs to test API behavior under various conditions including timeouts and error states.
Access mock servers to enable parallel mobile development without backend dependencies, accelerating the mobile app development cycle.
Simulate edge cases, rate limits, latencies, and rarely reachable code paths to achieve comprehensive test coverage without live API dependencies.
Inspect and debug HTTP payloads for webhook consumers and producers from platforms like Shopify, Stripe, and Sendgrid using local tunneling.
Mimic external service behavior for predictable load test outcomes and reduce costs associated with third-party API usage during performance testing.
Collaborate with teammates by sharing intercepted requests and mock servers via permanent links for distributed team workflows.
Integrations
Inspect and debug Shopify webhook payloads by tunneling webhook deliveries through Beeceptor for local development and testing.
Test Stripe webhook events and payment API callbacks using Beeceptor local tunneling and traffic inspection.
Debug email delivery webhook callbacks and event notifications from Sendgrid using Beeceptor HTTP inspection and mock responses.
Integrate Beeceptor programmatic API (Scale plan and above) into CI/CD pipelines to automate mock provisioning and teardown during testing.
