I stumbled upon these two fantastic free web APIs that you can use to test your applications/flows.

• Bored API
• httpstat.us

Bored API:

• If you need a API to quick test your application, try the https://www.boredapi.com/api/activity/
• This awesome GET Web API delivers a random JSON response every time you hit the endpoint, as shown below!

• For example, If I am learning Power Platform Custom Connectors, I can utilize the BoredAPI to quickly configure the connector, as shown below.

• I can instantly test the connector using the Test option.

httpstat.us API:

• It’s useful for testing how your own Apps/Flows deal with varying responses.
• Let’s say you’ve built an app that consumes APIs, and you want to unit test the app with various types of API response codes. In that case, https://httpstat.us/ is your friend.

• To simulate the 404 error code, you can use the URL https://httpstat.us/404 URL. Below is the Http Action in cloud flow with the 404 code error.
