Mock JSON endpoint returning HTTP 404

Live demo endpoint

Any method, any path. Returns 404 Not Found with Content-Type: application/json. OPTIONS returns 204 with CORS headers.

Call it with curl

curl -i https://demo-json-404.supercrontab.com/

Call it with fetch

const res = await fetch("https://demo-json-404.supercrontab.com/");
console.log(res.status); // 404
const body = await res.json();

What HTTP 404 Not Found means

When you see it

The path does not exist or the resource was deleted. Also returned by some APIs to hide private resources.

What a client should do

Check the URL and the id. For webhooks, disable the target after a few 404s in a row.

Retry?

No

Sample response body

{"ok":true,"id":42,"items":["alpha","beta","gamma"]}

The default for REST APIs. Parse it with response.json() and check the ok field.
