Endpoint
In plain terms
A specific URL where an API can be accessed.
Going deeper
An endpoint is an address (path + method) that exposes a particular API operation or resource. Clients call endpoints to interact with a service.
Under the hood
Well-designed endpoints are resource-oriented and consistent; each combines a path and HTTP method.
Examples
GET /users, POST /orders, API routes, REST resources, /health checks.
Think of it like...
Like a specific service window at an office, each handling one kind of request.
