When to create an EndPoint?

Question

What is the use case /scenario where should I create an EndPoint in google app engine project ?

I know that I can send my data from my mobile client to App server(GAE) using one EndPoint and receive data from App Server(GAE) using the same or another EndPoint. But I am not able to understand when i should create/use another EndPoint for receiving data and not use the same EndPoint using which I sent the data.

Is it advisable to have same EndPoint to be used for mobile client and web client?

Any help will be appreciated!! thanks in advance!!!

Endpoints should be created on a class basis. So you use the same endpoint class for sending and receiving foo objects (but obviously you use different methods). It's just a REST api, so you'll want to create your basic CRUD methods. Generate an endpoint in Eclipse and you'll see what the intended/generic use cases are.

Yes, that's the point of a REST api; it doesn't matter what the client is. From the overview page:
