API vs Endpoint
An API refers to a set of protocols and tools that allow interaction between two different applications. In simple terms, it is a technique that enables third-party vendors to write programs that can easily interface with each other.
On the other hand, an endpoint is the place of interaction between applications. API refers to the whole set of protocols that allows communication between two systems while an endpoint is a URL that enables the API to gain access to resources on a server.
결국 API란 두 시스템, 어플리케이션이 상호작용(소통) 할 수 있게 하는 프로토콜의 총 집합이라면 ENDPOINT란 API가 서버에서 리소스에 접근할 수 있도록 가능하게 하는 URL이다
