API Pagination Simulator

Design realistic paginated API responses for frontend mocks, backend docs, SDK examples, and QA test cases. Switch between offset, page, and cursor pagination, generate sample records, inspect metadata, and copy production-friendly snippets.

Offset Page Cursor Links & metadata JSON + code snippets

Pagination builder

Configure one endpoint model. The payload preview and all code snippets update from the same inputs.

Previewing a realistic paginated response for docs and frontend mocks.

Generated metadata

Mode: offset Sort: createdAt desc

Good practice

Keep your response shape consistent across empty, partial, first, middle, and last pages. Frontend code gets much simpler.

Design note: Offset pagination is easy to understand, page pagination is friendly for dashboards, and cursor pagination is safest for large or frequently changing datasets.

Generated output

Switch between payload preview and implementation snippets.

Tip: If you are documenting APIs, include both the request example and a real-looking sample response like this one. Developers skim examples before they read prose.
