👻 api-mock-server (Ghost)

Ghost is an instant mock API engine that turns any OpenAPI (Swagger) specification into a live, local mock server in seconds. It bridges the gap between frontend and backend development by allowing teams to test against realistic API responses before the real service is built.

🚀 Features

• ⚡ Instant Serving: One command to turn yaml or json specs into a live FastAPI server.
• 🔄 Dynamic Mocking: Automatically extracts examples and schemas from your spec to generate responses.
• 🛠️ Developer-First: Lightweight, zero-config, and designed for local frontend development.
• 🐳 Docker Ready: Easily containerize your mock server for shared staging environments.

📦 Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Raphasha27/api-mock-server.git
cd api-mock-server

# Install dependencies
pip install typer fastapi uvicorn PyYAML

⌨️ Usage

Spin up your mock server

python ghost.py serve ./openapi.yaml

Once running, you can access your endpoints at http://localhost:8080.
