The Office API — free mock REST API for testing

Employees, office pranks and quotes from a fictional paper company mockumentary. Practice CRUD, Bearer auth, nested resources, pagination and optimistic concurrency.

The Office API covers a paper company: employees, the pranks played on them and a quote collection. It is one of the gentler CRUD surfaces in the catalog and a reasonable first target when you are teaching someone the request/response loop before introducing auth, concurrency or error injection.

Base URL: https://funapi.dev/api/office/v1 · 8 endpoints · OpenAPI 3.1 spec and Postman collection available. New here? Read the getting started guide.

What you can practise here

Create, read, update and delete an employee end to end, watching the status code change at each step.
Repeat the delete and see the 404 that tells you the resource is already gone.
Filter pranks by target and confirm an unmatched filter is an empty 200, not an error.
Attempt a write without a token to meet the 401 before you meet it in production.
