Anil,
I am not sure what you mean by "endpoint" in the context used above. If you are looking for good resource: workbench is a great tool for REST API calls. 
Link to a quick overview and resources at the bottom,
https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/modules/api_basics/units/api_basics_rest
From developer documentation,
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.214.0.api_rest.meta/api_rest/intro_rest_conditional_requests.htm

Not sure if this is exactly what you are needing?
