Frequently asked questions about Polo
Can I use this without creating an account?
Yes, you can define and test responses immediately without registration. Registration allows you to name responses, get readable URLs, create reusable schemas, and manage them from a dashboard.
How do I generate fake data in responses?
Wrap values in double curly braces like {{ name() }}, {{ uuid() }}, {{ safeEmail() }}, {{ iso8601() }} to generate realistic fake data based on your specified locale.
Can I create pageable responses?
Yes, use __repeat to generate arrays and __paginate alongside it to make the array pageable and searchable via URL query parameters.
