Proxying an Existing REST API

This workflow shows how to proxy an existing API while adding a new endpoint that doesn't exist yet in your backend.

Enable Proxy Mode

In your project settings, enable proxy mode and set your base URL as interspector URL in project Setting.

Base URL:

https://api.yourproduct.com

Create a New Endpoint

Click "Add Endpoint" and define a path that doesn't exist in your actual API.

Path:

/api/v1/comments

Method:

GET

Configure Response

Define the mock response for your new endpoint.

Response Body (JSON)

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "postId": 101,
    "user": "jane_doe",
    "comment": "This is a great feature!",
    "createdAt": "2023-07-15T14:22:30Z"
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "postId": 101,
    "user": "john_smith",
    "comment": "I agree, very useful.",
    "createdAt": "2023-07-15T16:44:12Z"
  }
]

Use Your Hybrid API

Point your application to the MockQL URL instead of your original API.

MockQL Proxy URL:

https://mockql.com/api/v1/endpoint/simulate/rest/project-id

Now your application can use:

Existing endpoints: Proxied to your real API
New /comments endpoint: Served by MockQL
