UPS API PHP - End point URL

Question

I have downloaded a PHP SDK for the UPS API. I have the following code and have no idea what an end point URL is. The documentation does not provide any information on what this is.

  //Configuration
  $access = "0C81234564C2567";
  $userid = "leannetest";
  $passwd = "456hththd8hf";

  $accessSchemaFile = "schemas/AccessRequest.xsd";
  $requestSchemaFile = "schemas/RateRequest.xsd";
  $responseSchemaFile = "schemas/RateResponse.xsd";

  $endpointurl = 'add URL here';
  $outputFileName = "XOLTResult.xml";

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

An API endpoint "defines the address or connection point to a Web service. It is typically represented by a simple HTTP URL string". So basically, the endpoint URL is the URL of the web service that are you attempting to interact with.

EDIT: It appears from the documentation that the Rate webservices endpoint URL is https://wwwcie.ups.com/webservices/Rate.
