I created https://microapis.io to make it easier to launch API mock servers in the cloud with one click, no signup or login required.
The problem I found with most existing providers is they require you to create an account and often subscribe before you can use their services. For a quick test that's excessive overhead.
Until recently I was using prism[1] to run the mock server locally, but it's very limited when it comes to configuration and you have to install and run it locally, which again it's an unnecessary overhead when you want to run a simple test.
I've been using microapis.io for a few months now with my clients and it's proving a life saver to run integration tests and to help the frontend and the backend teams to work separately while ensuring they both comply with the same API specification.
