What is API Endpoints
Addresses or API routes through which the application accesses a specific service function.
Definition
An API endpoint is where a request is sent to perform a specific action. In an AI service, one endpoint can generate text, another can create an image, and a third can return embedding or parse a document. The ease of integration depends on the correct description of the endpoints.
Example
The application sends a POST request to the text generation endpoint and receives the model's response to display to the user.
Why it matters
The term is important for tool card developers and editors: it helps explain what features are available through an integration.
How it works
Each endpoint has a path, method, parameters, request format, response format, access rules, and possible errors.
Where it is used
- AI API integration
- application development
- service documentation
Limitations
Unclear or unstable endpoints make support difficult. It is also important to protect them from abuse and exceeding limits.
