An endpoint is the API-specific part of an address. While a base address identifies the service, an endpoint identifies the kind of request, such as a weather forecast, historical data, or generated text. section 5.3.1
https://<base address>/<endpoint>
Read an API address as a shared base address followed by the operation-specific endpoint. section 5.3.1
Requests can customize an endpoint with key-value parameters, such as a date, and may include information such as an API key in HTTP headers. The service returns a response, often JSON, that code can parse. For example, a weather API might expose forecast and history endpoints, while OpenAI provides a chat completions endpoint for generating the next response from a conversation. In Python, the OpenAI client calls that endpoint and reads the returned message. section 5.3.1 section 9.2.3
