Endpoints tool window
The Endpoints tool window provides an aggregated view of both client and server APIs used in your project for HTTP and WebSocket protocols. The tool window can assist you when developing microservices and backend-frontend communication. It is also helpful for exploring third-party APIs.
You can also navigate from the Endpoints tool window or from endpoint usages to the relevant endpoint declaration using the Go to Declaration action Control+B or Control+LeftClick.
In the Endpoints tool window, you can filter the list of endpoints by module, type, and framework. To list endpoints from external sources , select External under Module.
Endpoints marked as deprecated appear with a strikethrough (crossed out).

Configure OpenAPI Sources: Add an external OpenAPI specification (for example, from SwaggerHub) to include endpoints from this specification in the Endpoints tool window and highlight them with a yellow background. In the OpenAPI Specifications window that opens, click in the Remote Specifications list, and specify the URL of an OpenAPI specification file or find an OpenAPI specification on SwaggerHub. This also adds URLs defined in the specification to code completion. | |
