URLs and Endpoints

Overview

It’s address where your desired resource is located.

• We make a request to an API, using that API’s URL

• URLs of an API can be divided into 2 portions
  • Base URL
    • Portion of the full URL that will not change no matter the resource
    • Every request will start with this
  • Endpoint
    • The specific resource I want to retrieve
    • Added after the base URL

Examples

// base URL
https://scrimba.com/api

// endpoints
/courses
/users
/resources/challenges
