In business automation

An endpoint is the address of an API action or resource. Along with the address, you need to know which HTTP method to use, which parameters are required, and what a valid response looks like.

Examples

These examples illustrate a possible workflow. Adapt the connections and rules to your own systems.

Business process example

The workflow needs a list of invoices, so it calls the documented endpoint with a date range. If the response is paginated, it continues to the next page before closing the monthly report.

What to check

  • A website page address is not necessarily an API address. Check the test environment and interface version as well.
