JSONPlaceholder

Instant fake REST data for prototyping and demos

AUTH NONECORS ✓AGENT ✓HTTPS ✓COMMERCIAL ?

A zero-setup REST endpoint serving invented posts, todos, users, and comments as JSON. Reads return canned data, while writes are accepted but never persisted. Ideal for wiring up a frontend before a real backend exists.

JSONPlaceholder: common questions

Is JSONPlaceholder free to use?

Yes — JSONPlaceholder is a free developer tools API. Free tier: Free — limits not published. Whether the free tier allows commercial use is unclear — check the provider docs.

Does JSONPlaceholder need an API key?

No — JSONPlaceholder needs no API key or signup. You can call it straight away; rate limits still apply (1000 req/window · 999 remaining · resets 1783509378).

Can I call JSONPlaceholder from the browser?

Yes — JSONPlaceholder returns CORS headers over HTTPS, so front-end code can fetch it directly with no backend proxy. Use the fetch snippet on this page, or hit "Run live" to try it now.

Is JSONPlaceholder up right now?

As of our last scheduled check, JSONPlaceholder is healthy with 100% uptime over 90 days and a 386 ms median response. We re-probe it every sweep — the status badge and uptime chart above always show the latest.
