ReqRes - Test your front-end against a real API

A hosted REST-API ready to respond to your AJAX requests

ReqRes simulates real application scenarios. If you want to test a user authentication system, ReqRes will respond to a successful login/register request with a token for you to identify a sample user, or with a 403 forbidden response to an unsuccessful login/registration attempt.

Three Ways to Build with ReqRes

Modern JavaScript (Fetch)

If you, for example, want to create a fake user:

fetch("https://reqres.in/api/users", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
        name: "paul rudd",
        movies: ["I Love You Man", "Role Models"]
    })
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error("Error:", error));
                

For which the response to this request will be...

{
    "name": "paul rudd",
    "movies": [
        "I Love You Man",
        "Role Models"
    ],
    "id": "243",
    "createdAt": "2025-01-15T12:09:05.255Z"
}
                

You can see that the API has sent us back whatever user details we sent it, plus an id & createdAt key for our use.

Async/Await JavaScript

If you've already got your own application entities, ie. "products", you can send them in the endpoint URL, like so:

async function getProduct() {
    try {
        const response = await fetch("https://reqres.in/api/products/3", {
            headers: {
                "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
            }
        });
        const data = await response.json();
        console.log(data);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error("Error:", error);
    }
}

getProduct();
                

It would be impossible for Reqres to know your application data, so the API will respond from a sample set of Pantone colour data:

{
    "data": {
        "id": 3,
        "name": "true red",
        "year": 2002,
        "pantone_value": "19-1664"
    }
}
                

It's entirely possible to get sample data into your interface in seconds!
