Creating a New Endpoint

You have two options for creating endpoints:

1. Quick New Endpoint

This is the best option if you just want to obtain an endpoint quickly, without the need for configuration. With this option:

  • An endpoint is automatically created
  • Default settings are applied
  • A name is automatically assigned
  • The new endpoint appears at the top of your endpoint list

  • Name and description
  • Body content
  • Status code
  • Content type
  • Forwarding endpoints

Managing Your Endpoint

Once your endpoint is created, you can:

  • View all details by clicking on the endpoint
  • Copy the URL directly from the endpoint box
  • Delete the endpoint using the trash icon

Next Steps

Important Note

Remember that deleting an endpoint is permanent and cannot be undone. All data collected and associated with the endpoint will be permanently removed.
