When talking about connecting to web-based APIs like the Smart Completions Smart API, an endpoint is a URL used for a specific purpose.
Here, we use categories to talk about APIs with different purposes:
-
Resource endpoints - Request changes to specific resources in Smart Completions.
-
Token endpoint - Get an access token, needed to authorize a request to a resource endpoint.
-
API reference endpoints - Get more information about the Smart Completions API itself, including the service document, service description, and metadata.
If you're unfamiliar with the web-based APIs, you can first learn about common endpoint components.
