Endpoints

Endpoints are used to determine the url of the operation you want to invoke for a given resource. The endpoints used are:

• ArcGISServerEndpoint - this will create an endpoint at the rest/services location for an ArcGIS server gateway. This is the most common use case for your own services so it's likely you will use this one
• ArcGISOnlineEndpoint - this will create an endpoint at the sharing/rest location. This can be used when called services hosted on ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS
• ArcGISServerAdminEndpoint - this will create an endpoint at the admin location for an ArcGIS server gateway
• AbsoluteEndpoint - this will just keep the string that you pass to it. It's used internally to allow the ArcGISOnlineEndpoint to call the geometry service at https://utility.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer

There are string extensions methods in the root namespace as an alternative way of creating them.

When creating an endpoint you only need to use the relative url (with the exception of the AbsoluteEndpoint), since the absolute url to the resource operation is constructed automatically from the endpoint, the root url of the gateway and the operation request.
