Automation glossary

Endpoint

An endpoint is a specific URL where an API accepts requests for one resource or action, such as creating a contact or listing orders.

In plain language

It is the exact address an automation calls to read or change a particular kind of data.

Example

POST https://api.example.com/v1/contacts creates a contact; GET on the same path lists contacts.

API · HTTP Request · REST API · Webhook

Common misconception

An endpoint is not the whole API; each endpoint has its own required fields, permissions, and limits.

Implementation guidance

Use the API’s documented base URL and version, confirm the method and required fields per endpoint, and keep test and live endpoints separate.
