 # Routes & Endpoints
 
-The REST API provides us a way to match URIs to various resources in our WordPress install. By default, if you have pretty permalinks enabled, the WordPress REST API “lives” at `/wp-json/`. At our WordPress site `https://ourawesomesite.com`, we can access the REST API’s index by making a `GET` request to `https://ourawesomesite.com/wp-json/`. The index provides information regarding what routes are available for that particular WordPress install, along with what HTTP methods are supported and what endpoints are registered.

 If we wanted to create an endpoint that would return the phrase “Hello World, this is the WordPress REST API”, we would first need to register the route for that endpoint. To register routes you should use the `register_rest_route()` function. It needs to be called on the `rest_api_init` action hook. `register_rest_route()` handles all of the mapping for routes to endpoints. Let’s try to create a “Hello World, this is the WordPress REST API” route.
