How to Trigger API Mock Responses

Q: How can I trigger a configured Mock Response for a digiRunner API using Postman?

A: If you have configured a mock response for your API in the digiRunner console, you can test it without invoking the actual backend service by including a specific request header.

To force digiRunner to return the mock response, add the following header to your request in Postman (or any other API client):

  • Header Key: dgr_mock_test

  • Header Value: true

How it works: When digiRunner detects the dgr_mock_test header set to true, it bypasses the backend service and immediately returns the mock response body configured in the console.
