API

The terms API (Application Programming Interface) and Endpoint are used somewhat interchangeably.

However, an API normally refers to a group of Endpoints.

An endpoint has a unique URL path and HTTP verb (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE etc).

When we POST a Swagger file to the Create Endpoint endpoint, we are in fact creating a set of Endpoints that have a common Tag. Tags are used to group Endpoints in the API Explorer and filter the Endpoints in the Resource Doc endpoints.

Endpoints can also be grouped together in Collections.
