Endpoints
=========
An endpoint is the **request address** for calling an API. Endpoints vary depending on services and regions. For the endpoints of all services, see `Regions and Endpoints `__.
.. important::
If an endpoint uses a domain name, configure the hosts file in the format of "{float-ip} {service_name}.{region_id}.{external_domain_name}" on the local PC. Obtain **float-ip** from the system administrator.
