Generate mock API servers and static fixtures from OpenAPI/Swagger specs. Contextual fake data (emails, names, UUIDs, etc.) based on property names and schema types.
Quick Start
# Start a live mock server
python3 scripts/generate_mock.py serve api.json
# Generate static JSON mock files
python3 scripts/generate_mock.py generate api.json -o mocks/
# List discovered routes
python3 scripts/generate_mock.py routes api.json
# Generate sample response for a specific endpoint
python3 scripts/generate_mock.py sample api.json /users
Commands
serve — Live Mock Server
python3 scripts/generate_mock.py serve spec.json [options]
Options:
--port,-p— port (default: 3000)--host— host (default: 127.0.0.1)--delay,-d— response delay in ms (simulate latency)--error-rate,-e— random error rate 0.0-1.0 (simulate failures)
Features: CORS headers on all responses, path parameter matching, JSON responses with Content-Type headers.
generate — Static Mock Files
python3 scripts/generate_mock.py generate spec.json -o output_dir/
Creates one JSON file per route + manifest.json with route mapping. Useful for test fixtures or frontend stubs.
routes — Discover Endpoints
python3 scripts/generate_mock.py routes spec.json [--format text|json]
sample — Single Endpoint Preview
python3 scripts/generate_mock.py sample spec.json /users --method GET
Supported Specs
- OpenAPI 3.x (JSON)
- Swagger 2.0 (JSON)

Fake Data Generation
Property-name-aware generation:
| Property pattern | Generated data |
|---|---|
*email* |
realistic email |
*name* |
first/last/full name |
*phone* |
formatted phone |
*url*, *website* |
https URL |
*city*, *country* |
real city/country |
*id*, *uuid* |
UUID v4 |
*price*, *amount* |
currency-like number |
*image*, *avatar* |
picsum.photos URL |
*description*, *bio* |
lorem paragraph |
*status* |
active/inactive/pending |
Schema-aware: respects enum, example, default, format (date, date-time, email, uri, uuid, ipv4), minimum/maximum, minLength/maxLength, $ref, oneOf/anyOf/allOf.
Exit Codes
0— success1— route not found (sample command)2— spec parse error or system error
