Endpoint Categories

Endpoints are grouped into two main categories:

User-centric operations

These return data specific to the authenticated user. They are commonly used when building user-facing applications like the ACTIVATE web UI.

System-level operations

These return consistent results regardless of the authenticated user. They are ideal for backend services and integrations that don't require user context.
