What is an API Endpoint?

In this video, we look at API Endpoint and explain how to use them. APIs are a set of protocols that specify how two applications should interact with one another. So, how do they function? The client application will send the request to the other application’s API to access some resource, and the latter delivers it. This is where API endpoints fulfil their role. When clients request a resource, they do it via an endpoint, which effectively states that the resource is available in a specific location.
