If you google "api for dummy data" there are a ton of sites that do exactly that, just a heads up :)

#14Hey HN, Alex and Ben here, and we wanted to share a simple web app we created recently. UI Filler is a quick way to get placeholders for your designs. We do a lot of UI design and development and frequently need to fill it with placeholder content. I usually just Google “Lorem ipsum” and end up on a site about the history of lorem ipsum, then copy and paste some small chunk of it to fill the field I need. Ben, who is…

#19I like how this includes images and logos.
I typically use https://mockaroo.com/. But its target is probably less design and more implementing a design in an app or a site.
