Frequently Asked Questions

What endpoints are available?: /products (all, single, category list, by category), /carts (all, single, by user, by date), /users (all, single), /auth/login (authentication). Full CRUD supported.
How many products are in the catalog?: 20 products across 4 categories: electronics, jewelry, men's clothing, and women's clothing. Each product includes image, price, description, category, and rating.
Can I add new products?: Yes — POST to /products with JSON body. The API will return the created product with an auto-generated ID. Note that data is not persisted permanently (in-memory store).
What user data is available?: Users include username, email, name (first/last), address (street, city, zip, lat/lng), and phone. User IDs range from 1 to 10. Use /users to list them all.
Do shopping carts work?: Yes — carts contain product IDs with quantities and dates. Query /carts/user/{userId} for a user's carts. Each cart has an ID, user ID, date, and products array.
Is there a rate limit?: No strict rate limit. Fake Store API is free for testing and prototyping. Data is reset periodically as it's an in-memory store, so your changes may not persist indefinitely.
