API Endpoint

Definitions

  1. A specific network path or callable interface exposed by an API to perform an operation or access a resource. Endpoints are usually defined by a route plus method, expected input, and response contract rather than by URL alone.

    In plain English: A specific API route or interface used for a particular operation.

    Example: "The new billing API endpoint supported idempotent invoice creation so retries would not duplicate charges."
