An Alternative 🚀

[kics223w1]

Hello everyone,
Because this project is abandoned in 6 years, so I’ve developed an alternative to httpbin using the Gin framework.
This project is very early stage but I've ported all the current endpoints from httpbin.
Feel free to check it out and give it a try!

Have a nice day ❤️

There are a number of alternatives that have popped up since postman has stopped maintaining this repo. I'm mostly posting this comment to help me remember but I figured others may be interested as well.

The most mature fork is from python software foundation, with their latest release in Feb 2024.

Postman seems to have come up with their own alternative called Postman Echo. This does not seem to be OSS and can only be accessed via their website with no self-hosting option.

httpbingo.org seems to be a similar repository, with instructions to self-host via docker.

@sohmc and @kics223w1 - I also created one called mockhttp. You can use it here: https://mockhttp.org

{ mockhttp }

A simple HTTP server that can be used to mock HTTP responses for testing purposes. Inspired by httpbin and built using nodejs and fastify with the idea of running it via https://mockhttp.org/, via docker jaredwray/mockhttp, or nodejs npm install jaredwray/mockhttp.

About mockhttp.org

mockhttp.org is a free service that runs this codebase and allows you to use it for testing purposes. It is a simple way to mock HTTP responses for testing purposes. It is ran via Cloudflare and Google Cloud Run across 7 regions globally and can do millions of requests per second.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to share 🥫 https://httpcan.org, a lightweight alternative to httpbin built with Rust and actix-web.

The name carries a dual meaning - "can" is smaller than "bin", reflecting both its compact size and minimal footprint (Docker image under 10MB).

httpcan maintains compatibility with httpbin's APIs while adding several useful endpoints. It's optimized for performance and efficiency, making it ideal for testing environments where resources matter.

Hope it helps.

Hello,
Built MockerAPI as another httpbin alternative.
MockerAPI provides all the standard httpbin endpoints for testing HTTP requests, responses, and various scenarios. It's hosted on Cloudflare's global network, ensuring fast response times and high availability worldwide.
Key features:

Full httpbin-compatible API endpoints
Hosted on Cloudflare for reliable, low-latency access globally
Additional testing utilities for modern development workflows
Free to use with no rate limits for reasonable usage
Clean interface with consistent uptime

The project aims to provide a dependable, fast testing service for developers who need a stable httpbin alternative. Feel free to try it out and let me know if you have any feedback!
Give it a try! 🚀

Built MockerAPI as another httpbin alternative.

@ravirnjn88 Do you have your source code available? I looked at your website and don't see an obvious link to your github repo.

I'm happy to know there are many alternatives.
However, I noticed some alternatives don't support multipart/form-data at /post endpoint whereas httpbin.org does.
AFAICT httpcan.org at least supports multipart/form-data so far. I hope other alternatives also support it.
