API Endpoint

An API endpoint is a specific location or address on a server where a computer program can send requests to access or modify data or perform certain functions. Think of it like a phone number or a website address that, when contacted, provides specific information or performs tasks. For example, an online store might have an API endpoint to retrieve product details or place an order. Endpoints facilitate communication between different software systems, allowing them to work together efficiently and share data in a structured way.
