Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'end' (final/stopping point) combined with 'point' (a specific position) yields the idea of a specific target or terminal location. While the API/network usage is technical, a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the basic sense of a target address or final location, so the expression is transparent.
Etymology
End point comes from the simple picture of a road or path that finishes at a clear mark. The words end and point show that it is the exact place or moment where something stops, so it means 'the place, moment, or result where something ends'.
