How to Use This API
1. Create a CRUD Endpoint
Visit Beeceptor, create a new endpoint, and start sending data:
# Create a new resource
POST https://myapp.beeceptor.com/api/users
Content-Type: application/json
{"name": "Alice", "email": "alice@example.com"}
2. Read Resources
# List all users
GET https://myapp.beeceptor.com/api/users
# Get a single user
GET https://myapp.beeceptor.com/api/users/1
3. Update and Delete
# Update a user
PUT https://myapp.beeceptor.com/api/users/1
{"name": "Alice Smith", "email": "alice@newdomain.com"}
# Delete a user
DELETE https://myapp.beeceptor.com/api/users/1
4. JavaScript — Full CRUD Example
const API = 'https://myapp.beeceptor.com/api/users';
// Create
fetch(API, {method: 'POST', headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
body: JSON.stringify({name: 'Bob', role: 'admin'})});
// Read
fetch(API).then(r => r.json()).then(console.log);
// Update
fetch(`${API}/1`, {method: 'PUT', headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
body: JSON.stringify({name: 'Bob Updated'})});
// Delete
fetch(`${API}/1`, {method: 'DELETE'});
5. Python — Using Requests
import requests
api = 'https://myapp.beeceptor.com/api/items'
# Create
r = requests.post(api, json={'title': 'Test item', 'done': False})
print('Created:', r.json())
# List all
all_items = requests.get(api).json()
print(f'Total items: {len(all_items)}')
Create your endpoint:
https://myapp.beeceptor.com/api/users
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I create a CRUD endpoint?
- Go to beeceptor.com/crud-api/, choose a subdomain, and define your resource name. You'll get a full REST endpoint immediately with no signup required.
- What data types does Beeceptor support?
- Beeceptor stores JSON data. You can store any valid JSON object — strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, and nested objects. Each resource gets an auto-generated ID.
- How long does data persist?
- Data persists for the lifetime of the endpoint. Free endpoints are active as long as they receive requests. Inactive endpoints may be recycled after a period of disuse.
- Can I use custom IDs?
- Beeceptor auto-generates numeric IDs (1, 2, 3...) for each resource. If you need custom IDs, include an
idfield in your POST data, or use a separate endpoint. - Are there limits on storage?
- Free tier has reasonable storage limits suitable for prototyping and testing. Beeceptor also functions as a request inspector, capturing all HTTP requests to your endpoint.
- Can I add validation or authentication?
- The free CRUD API is open and schema-less. For validation, auth, or custom logic, you'll need to build your own backend. Beeceptor is designed for prototyping and testing.
