FakeStoreAPI vs RoboHash

FakeStoreAPI returns sample e-commerce data for prototypes: products across four categories, plus carts, users, and a demo login route that issues a JWT. It needs no signup or API key, and every response is JSON.

RoboHash turns any string — an email address, IP, username, or filename — into a deterministic robot, monster, human, or cat avatar, so the same input always renders the same image. Six selectable sets (robots, monsters, robot heads, cats, human avatars, gorillas) each support size, background (bgset), and Gravatar-based seeding, and images are served directly from the URL by file extension in PNG, JPG, GIF, or BMP. No signup, key, or request body is required, and outputs are freely embeddable under a CC-BY license.
