Any endpoint that contains "

JSFiddle or JSBin. Pantone colours.

Getting started

Check out the Swagger doc:

jQuery Native JavaScript

If you, for example, want to create If you've already got your own
a fake user: application entities, ie. "products",
you can send them in the endpoint
$.ajax({
url: "https://reqres.in/api/users",
URL, like so:
headers: { "x-api-key": "reqres-free-v1"
type: "POST", var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();


data: { xhr.open("GET", "https://reqres.in/api/product
name: "paul rudd", xhr.onload = function(){
movies: ["I Love You Man", "Role Mode console.log(xhr.responseText);
}, };
success: function(response){ xhr.send();
console.log(response);
}
});

It would be impossible for Reqres

to know your application data, so
For which the response to this the API will respond from a sample
request will be... set of Pantone colour data

{ {
"name":"paul rudd", "data":{
"movies[]":[ "id":3,

"id":"243", }
"createdAt":"2014-10-18T12:09:05.255Z" }
}

Rapid prototyping of

When prototyping a new
interface, you just want an
API there, with minimal
setup effort involved.
Normally, I'd point people,
who aren't too familiar with
backend programming, to
Sailsjs which can auto-
generate a REST-API for you
from the command line.

However, you will need

Node.js installed and some
familiarity of how Node.js
works. If that sounds like
too much hassle and way
too daunting, Reqres is just
a URL. Sending it an AJAX
request is step 1...there is
no step 2.

Peace of mind


It might seem pretty weird to be sending your data to a 3rd party API, but I can assure
you, Reqres does not store any of your data at all. Once you send it to us, we just send it
straight back...and then it's gone!
