  • HTTPS supported

Mocky

  • HTTPS supported
  • CORS enabled for frontend use
FeatureAccount APIMocky
AuthenticationapiKeyNone
HTTPSYesYes
CORSUnknownYes

When to use which?

Mocky is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. Mocky works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps.
