Endpoint - Amazon Pinpoint

Endpoint

An endpoint represents a destination that you can send messages to, such as a mobile device, email address, or phone number.

You can use the Endpoint resource to create, retrieve information about, update, or delete a specific endpoint from an application. This includes updating the settings and attributes of an endpoint. To perform these tasks for multiple endpoints in a single operation, use the Endpoints resource.

Note: Quotas apply to the number of custom attributes that you can define for endpoints. If you send a PUT request that defines additional custom attributes for an endpoint and the addition of these attributes exceeds these quotas, Amazon Pinpoint returns an HTTP 400 response. For information about the quotas that apply to attributes, see Amazon Pinpoint Quotas in the Amazon Pinpoint Developer Guide. To remove custom attributes from endpoints, use the Attributes resource.

False

An identifier that represents the endpoint's language, in IETF BCP 47 format. This identifier typically consists of an ISO 639-1 alpha-2 code, followed by an underscore (_), followed by an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 value. For example, the locale code for United States English is en_US.

An attribute name can contain up to 50 characters. An attribute value can contain up to 100 characters. When you define the name of a custom attribute, avoid using the following characters: number sign (#), colon (:), question mark (?), backslash (\), and slash (/). The Amazon Pinpoint console can't display attribute names that contain these characters. This restriction doesn't apply to attribute values.
