  Of course there is, otherwise we would not be able to store categories in Craft. The controller that handles categories is called `CategoriesController` and it contains the function `actionSaveCategory` so you route will be `actions/categories/saveCategory`
  
  To create/save a user you have the `UsersController`.. You may guess the function is `actionSaveUser` => `actions/users/saveUser`
  
  It's the same for every element in Craft. `EntriesController`, `actionSaveEntry` => `actions/entries/saveEntry`
  
  But this all has nothing to do with an endpoint or an API, it's just basic Craft code
