# Endpoint Connection Service

> Endpoint Connection Service API methods in the Galtea SDK

The Endpoint Connection Service in the Galtea SDK allows you to manage [endpoint connections](/concepts/product/endpoint-connection) for your products.
This Service is exposed by the `galtea.endpoint_connections` object.

<Info>
  Remember that we will be using the `galtea` object. More information [here](/sdk/api/galtea).
</Info>

## Quick Example

First, initialize the Galtea SDK:

```python theme={"system"}
galtea = Galtea(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
```

Create an endpoint connection:

```python theme={"system"}
endpoint_connection = galtea.endpoint_connections.create(
    name="production-chat-api-" + run_identifier,
    product_id=product_id,
    url="https://api.example.com/v1/chat",
    type=EndpointConnectionType.CONVERSATION,
    http_method="POST",
    auth_type="BEARER",
    auth_token="YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN",
    input_template='{"message": "{{ input.user_message }}"}',
    output_mapping={"output": "$.response"},
    timeout=30,
)
```

List endpoint connections for a product:

```python theme={"system"}
endpoint_connections = galtea.endpoint_connections.list(
    product_ids=[product_id],
    sort_by_created_at="desc",
    limit=10,
)
```

Get an endpoint connection by ID:

```python theme={"system"}
endpoint_connection = galtea.endpoint_connections.get(endpoint_connection_id=endpoint_connection_id)
```
