What is an Endpoint?
Endpoint is a specific URL within an API where applications send requests and receive data responses. Each endpoint performs a particular function, such as retrieving or updating content.
How Endpoints Work
Endpoints use HTTP methods like GET (fetch data), POST (create), PUT (update), and DELETE (remove). For example, a CMS might have endpoints for managing posts, users, or comments.
Why Endpoints Matter in Integrations
- Enable structured communication between systems.
- Allow automation of content updates and user interactions.
- Form the foundation for building connected web experiences.
