[Tip] Useful Free Web APIs to Use in Your Apps
I stumbled upon these two fantastic free web APIs that you can use to test your applications/flows.
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.
