Beyond one-off downloads, Mockaroo offers saved schemas, datasets, mock APIs for back-end endpoints so UI work can start early, projects, scenarios, functions, database targets and de-identification. Fields can be generated with AI from a description. The homepage notes Mockaroo is also available as a Docker image to deploy in a private cloud.
