🚀Introducing AquaScript: Your Go-To JSON API for Seamless Development

TL;DR: We built AquaScript to tackle a problem developers face daily — getting realistic, ready-to-use test data without setting up a backend. It’s free, fast, and live. Try it now and streamline your development workflow: Aquascript (Free-Json-API)


🌱 Why We Built AquaScript

As devs, we’ve all been there:

✅ Prototyping a frontend but waiting on backend endpoints
✅ Needing fake but realistic data — nothing sensitive
✅ Spending hours crafting mock datasets by hand

Enter AquaScript: A blazing-fast fake JSON API that gives developers instant access to clean, categorized, and realistic test data.


✨ What Makes AquaScript Special

AquaScript offers a growing library of realistic, categorized data:

  • 📚 Books & BooksV2 (Basic and extended book info)

  • 💬 Quotes & QuotesV2 (Inspirational, funny, and deep quotes)

  • 🎬 MoviesData & MoviesDataV2 (Film titles, genres, ratings, etc.)

  • 😂 Jokes & Programming-Jokes (For those console.log chuckles)

  • 👤 RandomUser (Mock user profiles with avatars)

  • 🍲 Recipes (Realistic food data with random recipes)

  • 🎵 Songs (Track names, artists, genres)

...and more endpoints are cooking. Keep an eye out! 👀

Lightning Fast

Sub-100ms response times globally 🌍

🔌 Zero Configuration
No auth required. Just hit an endpoint and go (API keys for advanced usage coming soon).


🧪 Sample Usage (Yes, it’s this easy)

fetch('https://www.aquascript.xyz/api/randomuser.json')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)); // Pretty prints it
});

been cool seeing more tools that just let me skip the boring setup and get going fast. stuff like this really makes me wonder - you think speed or flexibility matters more when building out projects?

Thanks for dropping this — really appreciate it! 🙏
Honestly, we’ve had that exact thought so many times. Speed gets you excited, helps you start building without overthinking. But flexibility? That’s what helps you keep going when your project gets serious.

That’s kind of the heart behind AquaScript — we wanted something that just works out of the box, but still gives you room to grow when things get real.

Would love to hear more about how you balance both in your own projects too.

Ok, so I'll be posting the first real comment here.

This is not very useful because I cannot customize the JSON. This works for demo snippets and the likes. That's about it.

Whenever I actually want some test data for a POC or perhaps unit testing, I need something like Mockaroo, where I can define the JSON, fake POST, PUT, PATCH, etc. Pre-made JSON is too limited.

You're absolutely right: for more advanced testing, tools like Mockaroo offer deep customization that AquaScript doesn't support yet. Right now, we’re focused on making it super easy to grab realistic, structured JSON instantly — especially for quick demos, prototyping, and frontend dev.

But custom schemas, fake POSTs, and full CRUD mocking? That’s definitely on our roadmap. Your feedback helps us get there faster — thank you for keeping it real. 💙

Is there a number limit request for this one? and also does this support filter parameter?

Right now, there's no hard request limit — but we're monitoring usage and may introduce rate limits later for fairness.
As for filters: not yet, but it's on our roadmap! We’re planning to add filtering and custom queries soon. Stay tuned! 🚀

been craving something like this for ages, the hassle with dummy data gets old fast - you think tools like this end up changing how much time folks actually put into building real features versus just fighting setup?

So true. The setup grind really drains the fun out of building. 😅
That’s exactly why we made AquaScript — to help devs jump straight into the good stuff. Appreciate you saying this!
