Using Query Params
When working on a mock API, you will often need to configure your API in a way that will affect the working of the rest of your team. So to handle those scenarios, Mocklets enables you to control some of the configuration using query params while making the API request.
Currently, we allow users to configure response HTTP status and delay parameters by adding query params to their API calls.
You can request a specific HTTP status in response by adding
x_response_status
param to your api. So, if you api is https://api.mocklets.com/mock12675/pets
which has its active response HTTP status set as 200
, but you want it to return a 401
response, you just have to callhttps://api.mocklets.com/mock12675/pets?x_response_status=401
Please note You need to add the requested status code to your api, otherwise it will return
404 NOT FOUND
error.User can add custom delay to the api request using query param without effecting the behavior of other team members using the same api. You need to add
x_response_delay
param to you api. So, if your api is https://api.mocklets.com/mock12675/pets
and you want to set the delay as 15 seconds
, you have to callhttps://api.mocklets.com/mock12675/pets?x_response_delay=15
The maximum delay supported in
60 seconds
, any value above it will be ignored and 60 second
delay will be set for that request.
We are adding more configuration that can be managed using query params. Please stay tuned for more.
