Creates a hosted snapshot of one mock provider. The response includes a public base URL you can call until the TTL expires. Base URL: https://simulation.ressl.ai
Mock URL shape: https://{snapshotId}.{slug}.mock.ressl.cc Provisioning may take up to a few minutes.

​
Path parameters

​
slug
string
required
Provider slug from GET /providers/list.

​
Headers

​
Authorization
string
required
Bearer rsk_... (or use X-API-Key instead).
​
Content-Type
string
application/json when sending a body.

​
Body

All fields are optional. An empty body uses defaults (ttl: "6h", empty seed).
​
ttl
string
default:"6h"
Lifetime of the snapshot. Forms like 15m, 6h, or 1d. Maximum 7d.
​
seed
object
Initial mock data. Recommended shape: { "<slug>": { "<Resource>": [ … ] } }. If the top-level slug key is missing, the API wraps the object using the path slug. Omit or null for { "<slug>": {} }.
​
config
object
Reserved for future emulator overrides. Accepted but not applied yet. Safe to omit or send {}.

​
Response

​
snapshotId
string
required
Snapshot id (also the subdomain label on the mock URL).
​
slug
string
required
Provider that was provisioned.
​
url
string
required
Public mock base URL. Use this as the API host for agents and clients.
​
previewUrl
string
required
Internal preview URL. Prefer url.
​
expiresAt
string
required
ISO-8601 expiry time from ttl.
​
ttl
string
required
Normalized TTL that was applied.
