Gorest
GoRest is a free, publicly hosted REST API seeded with realistic dummy data across resources like users, posts, comments, and todos, supporting full CRUD via standard HTTP verbs. Reads are open to everyone, but write operations require a personal access token generated after signing in with GitHub, Google, or Microsoft — there's no separate OAuth handshake performed by client apps themselves. It's commonly used to give frontend and mobile projects a real, rate-limited backend to build and test against without writing any server code.
