Are the resource properties always the same?

I'm using the service to run unit tests into a generic REST client, but I've noticed the values have changed after some time with no specific reason.

Are the post title/bodies regenerated every once in a while?
If that's true I'll have to stop comparing arrays and start matching fields against regexps to make sure I'm getting everything I should get...

Sorry for taking so long to answer.

JSONPlaceholder is running on a free Heroku plan. So when there's no requests for some time, it goes to sleep. Then when another request comes, application is started and database is regenerated.

I see that it can be annoying and will try to fix it.

Actually, the only thing that doesn't change is the id and the number of elements.

Wow! Got it.

Maybe you could disable the data randomizer? This way everytime the db is regenerated it will have the same dataset.

I'm generating now a static data.json file (it's already in the repo). So it's generated once and for all.
I need to fix a few things, but I hope to release the fix for this issue this week.

Pushed to Heroku. Now resources shouldn't change :)

Awesome! Should I add again how great was this idea? (:
