Q: Mock API Functionality, HTTP Interception, and QA Use Cases
As a QA, I’d like to know if NativeRest supports mock API functionality, like creating mock endpoints, customizing request/response payloads, and simulating status codes for frontend testing before the backend is ready. Also, does it support real-time HTTP interception and modification, similar to tools like Fiddler or Charles Proxy? Lastly, is there any way to integrate NativeRest into CI/CD or automation pipelines via CLI or scripting? If these features are available, kindly share any documentation or setup guides to help me get started. Thanks!
A: Hi! 👋 NativeRest does not support the features you described. NativeRest is more suitable for client-side work, not as a server emulator. At the same time, NativeRest is actively developing and these features are in the long-term plans. 🙌 Thank you for describing your needs, this will definitely influence the choice of new features during implementation. 👌
A: Hi! 👋 NativeRest is a desktop software 💻 regardless of the plan. Tier 3 (Team) plan enables you to create cloud workspaces that can be accessed from the desktop version of NativeRest (not from a browser). 🔹 I would like to point out that NativeRest does not require administrator rights to run, so it can be run on any OS. 🔹 One of the advantages of the desktop version is that you can send a...

But if you are used to working online, NativeRest has support for cloud and team workspaces. NativeRest has powerful support for various environment variables and functions. NativeRest supports...
Q: Generate fully-functional API endpoints( Documented)
Just to be clear. Is this able to generate fully-functional API endpoints of an external database that I have for example, and I then use those generated endpoints to integrate the database in other applicatins?
There is another product on here called NoCodeBackend, how is this compared to it? Thank you
A: Thanks for the question 🤗 NativeRest is more for sending requests to endpoints, i.e. it works from the other side. The closest analogue of NativeRest is Postman and Insomnia. If you need to create endpoints, then you need tools like NoCodeBackend, and if you need to debug and test, then NativeRest.
Can automatically generate API endpoints from a database for use in integrations? asked differentlt, can it act like an API Management tools like PostgREST, Hasura, or Strapi that can expose a database as a REST or GraphQL API automatically?
NativeRest does not create endpoints. Maybe someday this will be the case, but for now it is a tool for testing APIs. I recommend watching our short video on YouTube channel @nativesoft

Q: Cloud workspaces
If I purchase Tier 3, which includes Cloud Workspaces, does that mean I don’t need to download any software and can use it directly from your website?

What does customer payment options mean as it relates to the lifetime deal here at Appsumo ?
