# APM Server API
APM Server exposes endpoints for:
- [APM Server information API](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2642/solutions/observability/apm/apm-server/information-api)
- [Elastic APM events intake API](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2642/solutions/observability/apm/elastic-apm-events-intake-api)
- [Elastic APM agent configuration API](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2642/solutions/observability/apm/elastic-apm-agent-configuration-api)
- [OpenTelemetry intake API](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2642/solutions/observability/apm/opentelemetry-intake-api)
- [Jaeger event intake](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2642/solutions/observability/apm/jaeger-event-intake)

<note>
  For new users, Elastic recommends using the OpenTelemetry path through the [EDOT Collector](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2642/reference/edot-collector) or [Managed OTLP](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2642/reference/opentelemetry/motlp) rather than sending data directly to the APM Server.
