Data Structure

{ id: number; title: string; price: number; description: string; category: string; image: string; rating: { rate: number; count: number; }; }

Cart

{ id: number; userId: number; date: string; products: Array<{ productId: number; quantity: number; }>; }

User

{ id: number; email: string; username: string; password: string; name: { firstname: string; lastname: string; }; address: { city: string; street: string; number: number; zipcode: string; geolocation: { lat: string; long: string; }; }; phone: string; }

Important Notes

  • Simulation: The Fake Store API is read-only. POST, PUT, and DELETE operations return simulated responses but don't persist data.

  • Rate Limits: The public API has no strict rate limits, but please be respectful.

  • Data: All data is fake and for testing purposes only.
