REST endpoint mean

Hi Pranav,

Does your inquiry relate to a REST end point that resides on an instance?

If so I can advise that an example if found here:

Getting started with the REST API

..

Retrieve existing incidents

Use a GET request to view existing incident records.

Before you begin

Role required: web_service_admin, rest_api_explorer, or admin

About this task

Use the REST API Explorer to send the following request:

GET https://instance.service-now.com/api/now/v1/table/incident

in this case the endpoint would be

https://instance.service-now.com/api/now/v1/table/incident/

specifically

https://instance.service-now.com/api/now/v1/table/incident/{sys_id}

In general it is a unique URL that represents an object or collection of objects

I just want to know what it signifies like -> the URL of the data to be retrieved, updated, or deleted.

or is it metadata

Hi Pranav,

endpoint is the URL where your service can be accessed by a client application.
