An API gateway is to centralize your access to an underlying API that might be running on multiple machines. This is useful for things like traffic management (because you're able to monitor all incoming traffic through one main gateway) and security rules (because your gateway can handle authentication). A URL endpoint could be exposed through numerous means whereas an API gateway architecture is about ensuring monitoring of every API request through the service(s). I hope that makes sense.
Good introduction 👍

Than you!
isn’t it the same as using a url endpoint?
