Instructor: The next part of the URL
after the domain name is the API word.
So, if the domain name does not include API,
like in our case with Beeceptor,
then the API word comes now like this.
So, take a look at this domain name
and you can see that the domain name itself
does not contain the word API.
And it comes right after that, after the forward slash.
So, the role of the API word is to emphasize
that this URL is for the API and not for the website,
because there are many websites
that have a visual representation,
like almost every other website in the world,
and also an API representation.
And the API in the URL notifies the developer
that this is where the API representation is found.
Now, the API can also be part of the domain name itself,
and it doesn't have to be after the domain name.
A good example for this is with Google APIs.
So, if you take a look at this URL,
you see that the word API is part of the domain name,
part of Google APIs.
So, this is definitely also a good choice
and you can use it.
So, let's continue to build our sample URL using Beeceptor.
So, we will click the mocking rules once again
and let's create a new rule,
and let's go to these textbooks
which contains the URL of the API.
So, according to what we just said,
the first part of the URL here should be the word API.
Great.
Don't click Save Rule because we will continue
walking on this URL during this section.
So, great, now we have the API word
and let's continue to the next part of the URL.
