Endpoints
=========
Endpoints are **request address** for calling APIs. Endpoints vary depending on services and regions. To obtain the regions and endpoints, contact the enterprise administrator.
A service endpoint consists of the service name, region ID, and external domain name in the format of "{service_name}.{region_id}.{external_domain_name}". For details about how to obtain each parameter, see :ref:`Table 1 `.
