Quick Answer

A An endpoint is the URI that references an accessible resource on a server. In the context of web APIs, an endpoint references specific code that handles the request and returns an appropriate response.

In this format, the host portion of the URI (e.g., https://www.examples.org) is removed (although likely documented elsewhere) and only the path is referenced (e.g., /customers). The host information is usually documented elsewhere. Often multiple hosts are listed (e.g., one for testing and one for production) which makes documenting endpoints only with path information more sensible.
