A mocking service allows a mocking instance of an API specification to receive behavior parameters with requests for resources of the API specification. The mocking service may digest these parameters and generate a response according to the parameters and using the instance of the API specification. The dynamic responses allow a service to be configured for interacting with an API corresponding to the API specification and for interacting with different response scenarios of the API. The parameters may define response behaviors such as a fixed time until a response is received, a variable time until a response is received, error rate, error codes, validations, etc. In some cases, based on a behavior parameter indicating a request for random data for a requested resource, the mock implementation of the API may generate and return random data according to variables defined in the API specification.
