Endpoint Management

Adding & Managing API Endpoints  #

An Endpoint is a specific API URL under a feature, representing a callable service. 

Adding an Endpoint:  #

1. Open a feature → Click “Add Endpoint”. 
2. Provide: 
   1. Endpoint URL 
   2. HTTP Method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH) 
   3. Description (optional) 
3. Save to attach it to the feature. 

Authentication Options:  #

Shift Left API supports: 

• Basic Authentication – username and password 

• OAuth2 – token-based authentication 

• API Keys – for services requiring key headers or query parameters 

Endpoint Grouping:  #

• Group endpoints under a feature for logical organization. 

• Supports sub-groups for larger features (e.g., “Admin APIs”, “User APIs”). 

• Makes batch testing and reporting easier. 

Tip: Maintain consistent naming conventions and groupings for faster navigation and CI/CD integration.
