Frontend-first backend
A real backend you
call with fetch().
Collections, auth, and logs - from a single URL.
No servers. No DevOps. No backend team required.
Free to try. No card required. API key in your dashboard.

ReqRes gives you a backend - API, database, auth, and logs - without building or deploying anything.
You get a URL. You send requests. It just works.
All handled. One URL.
Managing it all
80% of backends are CRUD + auth.
That's a lot of infra you're maintaining for nothing.
Your backend, live in your browser.
No signup required. Just hit Send.
Ship your frontend with a real backend — no Express, no Postgres, no deploy.
https://reqres.in/api/my-app/collections/todos/records
// Response will appear here
That's a real backend. Yours is 30 seconds away.
Database, API, and auth — from a URL. No code. No deploy.
Using ReqRes is way faster - you don't have to deploy, create schemas, or check versions. ReqRes already handles that for you.
