API

This project provides you different solutions to test your frontend implementation with an API by:

Run the official backend implementation locally

Section titled “Run the official backend implementation locally”

The official backend implementation is open-sourced.
You can find the GitHub repository here. The Readme will provide you guidances to start the server locally.

This project provides you with a public hosted API to test your frontend implementations.
Point your API requests to https://api.realworld.show/api and you’re good to go!

The API is freely available for public usage but its access is limited to RealWorld usage only: you won’t be able to t consume it on its own but with a frontend application.

To avoid the need for content moderation on the public API, the following limitations have been introduced in 2021

The visibility of user content is limited :

  • logged out users see only content created by demo accounts
  • logged in users see only their content and the content created by demo accounts
