# Endpoints An endpoint is a specific URL where your application can request or send data. It acts like a distinct address in an API that defines one particular operation or data set. For example, in a weather app, one endpoint might provide current weather data, while another could offer forecasts. When you interact with an endpoint, you're essentially asking the API to perform a specific task, like retrieving, updating, or deleting data. Each endpoint supports different request types, such as GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD and OPTIONS. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.mockapi.com/endpoints.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
