API Endpoints: The specific points of interaction or communication between an API and the software components that use it. In the context of a web API, an endpoint typically refers to a specific URL where an API can receive and send data. Each endpoint corresponds to a specific function or data resource, and it can accept certain types of requests (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, DELETE in the case of a RESTful API) to perform operations like retrieving, adding, modifying, or deleting data.
