Beeceptor is an API mocking, HTTP debugging, and proxy platform that lets developers create mock servers instantly without any coding. It supports REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and gRPC mocking, provides real-time HTTP traffic inspection, webhook testing, local tunneling, and AI-powered spec generation. Teams use Beeceptor to unblock frontend, backend, and QA workflows by simulating APIs before they are built or while avoiding dependencies on live services.

- API Mocking, HTTP Proxy, Mock Servers, Testing
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| HTTP Traffic Inspection | Capture and inspect HTTP headers, request/response bodies, and status codes in real time as traffic flows through your mock or proxy endpoints. |
| API Mocking | Create mock servers for REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs instantly with flexible request matching rules and dynamic response generation, no coding required. |
| Reverse Proxy and Interception | Wrap any live API endpoint with a Beeceptor subdomain to intercept, inspect, and selectively override traffic using man-in-the-middle proxy functionality. |
| Local Tunneling | Bind localhost services to persistent public HTTPS endpoints for webhook testing, live local debugging, and sharing local services with teammates. |
| OpenAPI Mock Generation | Upload an OpenAPI YAML or JSON specification to instantly create a fully functional mock server with one click, no manual rule creation needed. |
| AI-Powered Mock Creation | Generate realistic mock servers from natural language prompts or live traffic, using AI to synthesize responses for REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and gRPC. |
| Fault and Latency Injection | Simulate network delays, timeouts, connection resets, and HTTP error codes to validate how applications handle failure scenarios. |
| Traffic Recording | Record live API interactions and automatically generate mock rules from real traffic captures, enabling rapid mock creation from production behavior. |
| API Contract Drift Detection | Monitor for drift between live API behavior and the OpenAPI contract to detect breaking changes and schema violations over time. |
| Rate Limiting Simulation | Set maximum request limits per second, minute, or hour on endpoints to test application behavior under throttled or rate-limited conditions. |
| Programmatic API Control | Scale and Enterprise plans unlock the Beeceptor management API for programmatic creation and management of endpoints and rules in CI/CD pipelines. |
| Custom Domains | Configure custom domain names for mock endpoints on Scale and Enterprise plans, enabling team-branded or environment-specific endpoint URLs. |
| mTLS Support | Mutual TLS support for secure proxy configurations requiring client certificate authentication in enterprise environments. |
| SSO and Audit Logs | Enterprise plan includes Single Sign-On (SSO) integration and full audit logging for compliance and access governance. |
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Frontend Development | Build and test frontend applications against mock APIs without waiting for backend APIs to be ready, removing cross-team blocking dependencies. |
| Backend Development | Mock downstream microservices and third-party APIs to test API behavior under various conditions including timeouts and error states. |
| Mobile Development | Access mock servers to enable parallel mobile development without backend dependencies, accelerating the mobile app development cycle. |
| QA Engineering | Simulate edge cases, rate limits, latencies, and rarely reachable code paths to achieve comprehensive test coverage without live API dependencies. |
| Webhook Testing | Inspect and debug HTTP payloads for webhook consumers and producers from platforms like Shopify, Stripe, and Sendgrid using local tunneling. |
| Load Testing | Mimic external service behavior for predictable load test outcomes and reduce costs associated with third-party API usage during performance testing. |
| API Contract Sharing | Collaborate with teammates by sharing intercepted requests and mock servers via permanent links for distributed team workflows. |
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Shopify | Inspect and debug Shopify webhook payloads by tunneling webhook deliveries through Beeceptor for local development and testing. |
| Stripe | Test Stripe webhook events and payment API callbacks using Beeceptor local tunneling and traffic inspection. |
| Sendgrid | Debug email delivery webhook callbacks and event notifications from Sendgrid using Beeceptor HTTP inspection and mock responses. |
| CI/CD Pipelines | Integrate Beeceptor programmatic API (Scale plan and above) into CI/CD pipelines to automate mock provisioning and teardown during testing. |
