Beeceptor features

  • AI-generated mock from specs. Upload OpenAPI/Swagger, GraphQL, gRPC or SOAP and get a fully functional mock server with realistic data.
  • No-code request matching. Create dynamic and conditional responses via an intuitive UI without writing code.
  • Live request inspection. View payloads, headers and details in real time for debugging webhooks and callbacks.
  • Proxy & record. Route traffic through a live backend, record it and switch to mock mode when needed.
  • Stateful mock servers. Define multi-step behavior, delays, timeouts and CRUD routes with built-in storage.
  • Local tunnel. Expose third-party event payloads to your local machine on a specific port.
  • CI/CD integration. Programmatically control mock behavior and integrate into pipelines (Team and Scale plans).
  • Custom domain & mTLS. Use your own domain and certificate-based authentication for private mock endpoints (Team/Scale).

Firecamp features

  • VSCode-driven DX. Provides a developer experience integrated with Visual Studio Code.
  • End-to-end API testing. Supports testing of REST, GraphQL, WebSocket and SocketIO endpoints.
  • API collection collaboration. Teams can share and collaborate on API collections within the platform.
  • Unified playgrounds. Create dedicated playgrounds for REST, GraphQL, WebSocket and SocketIO APIs.
  • Guest mode. Allows limited testing without an account, with full features unlocked after sign-up.
