Can you simulate a delay? about jsonplaceholder

[nonopolarity]

Is this documented anywhere? I can't find any documentation around this even though it works

use _dealy

#100

so I think you mean use _delay

so it will be

fetch(`https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/${userID}?_delay=5`)

P.S.
The line

fetch(`https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/${userID}?_delay=5000`)

sometimes has the delay, but sometimes not.
(so I am not even sure if it was just a random network delay)

It needs to be 5000 to mean 5 seconds

Might be they optimize ip-base cahce to prevent some DDoS attack.

You can add randome parameter and it should works. (I've just tested with curl)

fetch(`https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/${userID}?_delay=5000&dummy=${randomNumber()}`)

And yes, it is very strange nothing documented about this.

Hi,

JSONPlaceholder doesn't support _delay. So addind it does nothing actually.

You can however use the CLI locally with v0.17 json-server --delay 5000 db.json https://github.com/typicode/json-server/tree/v0.17.4

Or use Chrome's Network tab > throtling to delay requests.
