Overview

The Fake Store API is a RESTful public API that allows you to build and test prototypes of e-commerce applications. It provides you access to e-commerce data such as products, carts, and users. The API simulates server-side behaviour, leaving you to focus on UI development and application logic.

The Fake Store API does not require a unique key or authentication method for basic data retrieval. Instead, it uses standard HTTP methods and returns JSON-formatted responses.
