Each channel has its own base of endpoints to send notifications directly to the app on user devices.

To create an endpoint:

Management console

AWS CLI

AWS SDK for Python

AWS SDK for PHP

API

In the management console, go to the folder containing your endpoint.
From the list of services, select Cloud Notification Service.
Select a push notification channel.
Navigate to the Endpoints tab.
Click Create endpoint.
Enter Device token, a unique token on the user device, the one created by the notification service for the app.
Optionally, enter User data, a UTF-8 encoded text up to 2,048 characters long.
Click Create.

If you do not have the AWS CLI yet, install and configure it.
Run this command:
```
aws sns create-platform-endpoint \
  --platform-application-arn <notification_channel_ARN> \
  --token <push_token>
```
Where:
- --platform-application-arn: Notification channel ID (ARN).
- --token: Unique push token for the application on the user’s device.
As a result, you will get a mobile endpoint ID (ARN). Save it for future use.

For more information about the aws sns create-platform-endpoint command, see the AWS documentation.

If you do not have the AWS SDK for Python (boto3) yet, install and configure it.
To create an endpoint, use the following code:
```
response = client.create_platform_endpoint(
    PlatformApplicationArn="<notification_channel_ARN>",
    Token="<push_token>",
)
print ("Endpoint ARN:", response["EndpointArn"])
```
Where:
- PlatformApplicationArn: Notification channel ID (ARN).
- Token: Unique push token for the app on the user’s device.
As a result, you will get a mobile endpoint ID (ARN).

If you do not have the AWS SDK for PHP yet, install and configure it.

To create an endpoint, use the following code:

$response = $client->createPlatformEndpoint(
    [
        'PlatformApplicationArn' => '<notification_channel_ARN>',
        'Token' => '<push_token>',
    ]
);

print($response->get('EndpointArn'));

Where:

PlatformApplicationArn: Notification channel ID (ARN).
Token: Unique push token for the app on the user’s device.

As a result, you will get a mobile endpoint ID (ARN).

Use the create HTTP API method for the Endpoint resource in Yandex Cloud Notification Service.

Creating an endpoint may take some time.
