Fake REST API with zero coding.
This project is heavily inspired by json-server in JavaScript.
Requires Python 3.6 .
It's highly recommended to install with pipx.
$ pipx install json-server.py
Or install with pip at your own risk:
$ pip3 install json-server.py
Create a db.json
file with following content:
{
"posts": []
}
Start a server:
$ json-server db.json
Create a post:
$ curl -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"content":"blablabla"}' http://localhost:3000/posts
List all posts:
$ curl http://localhost:3000/posts
Usage: json-server [OPTIONS] [FILENAME]
Start a JSON server.
FILENAME refers to the JSON file where your data is stored. `db.json` will
be used if not specified.
Options:
--version Show the version and exit.
-b, --bind TEXT Set address to bind, default as `:3000`
--help Show this message and exit.
Note:
- Collections must be contained in your data file before starting the server, otherwise the server cannot decide the type of resources.
# Start with default config
$ json-server
# Listen on port 3000
$ json-server -b :3000
# Specify a json file
$ json-server db.json
