This guide shows you how to design, implement, and test specific endpoints with various HTTP methods, request/response schemas, and business logic. ## Overview Endpoints Management Interface The Endpoints Management interface gives you complete control over your API's individual endpoints, letting you: * Create endpoints with different HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) * Define request parameters, headers, and body schemas * Configure response formats and status codes * Implement custom business logic * Set endpoint-specific authentication and permissions * Test endpoints directly from the interface ## Endpoint Types and Methods Retrieve resources or data Example: `/api/products` - List all products Create new resources Example: `/api/products` - Create a new product Update existing resources (full replacement) Example: `/api/products/{id}` - Update a product completely Partially update resources Example: `/api/products/{id}` - Update specific product fields Remove resources Example: `/api/products/{id}` - Delete a product Get information about endpoint capabilities Example: `/api/products` - Get available methods ## Visual Logic Builder CodeNull's Visual Logic Builder lets you implement endpoint logic without writing code: Visual Logic Builder Interface The builder includes nodes for: Query, insert, update, and delete data If/else statements and switch cases Map, filter, and transform data Call other APIs and services Verify user identity and permissions Process file uploads and downloads Validate input data against schemas Catch and process errors Add custom JavaScript/TypeScript ## Common Endpoint Patterns A standard set of endpoints for managing a resource: * `GET /resources` - List all resources * `GET /resources/{id}` - Get a specific resource * `POST /resources` - Create a new resource * `PUT /resources/{id}` - Update a resource completely * `PATCH /resources/{id}` - Update a resource partially * `DELETE /resources/{id}` - Delete a resource ## Best Practices Make your endpoints as focused and specific as possible. Each endpoint should do one thing and do it well, rather than trying to handle multiple operations. * **Consistent naming**: Use plural nouns for resources (e.g., /products instead of /product) * **Clear hierarchy**: Use logical nesting for related resources * **Proper status codes**: Return appropriate HTTP status codes for different scenarios * **Meaningful responses**: Include helpful error messages and relevant data * **Idempotent operations**: Ensure GET, PUT, and DELETE operations are idempotent * **Rate limiting**: Consider adding rate limiting for high-traffic endpoints * **Caching headers**: Use appropriate cache-control headers for GET requests ## Next Steps Learn about creating complete APIs Connect your endpoints to database resources Learn how to connect your frontend to your API endpoints
