I have created a Cloud Endpoint through Android Studio as part of an Android project.
I am not intending to use this part of the Cloud Endpoint with Android.
I need to access this Cloud Endpoint with cURL. I am getting the error:
404 - Not Found
The Endpoint is online, as I can see the index.html at the usual URL:
http://appid.appspot.com/
Hello, Endpoints!
Enter your name and press the button below to call your Google Cloud Endpoints API.
In order to find the URL I used the discovery URL for apis:
https://appid.appspot.com/_ah/api/discovery/v1/apis
That delivered this JSON (sensitive data obfuscated):
{
"kind": "discovery#directoryList",
"discoveryVersion": "v1",

"kind": "discovery#directoryItem",

}
I took the discoveryRestUrl for the api myApi.

I took the URL from here: "baseUrl": "https://appid.appspot.com/_ah/api/myApi/v1/sayHi/".
My curl command:
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"name": "Testing"}' http://appid.appspot.com/_ah/api/myApi/v1/sayHi
What URL should I use? Is it more likely that something isn't set up correctly?
#Jeff O'Neill - Update 1
Testing using the following URL:
http://appid.appspot.com/myApi/v1/sayHi
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head>
<body text=#000000 bgcolor=#ffffff>
<h1>Error: Not Found</h1>
<h2>The requested URL <code>/myApi/v1/sayHi</code> was not found on this server.</h2>
<h2></h2>
</body></html>
Update 2
I experimented with this Endpoint:
/**
* A simple endpoint method that takes a name and says Hi back
*/
#ApiMethod(name = "sayHi2", path = "test")
public MyBean sayHi2() {
MyBean response = new MyBean();
response.setData("This is a message");
return response;
}
I can call this with:
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://appid.appspot.com/_ah/api/myApi/v1/test
I still cannot explain why the original Endpoint cannot be reached, but if adding a path annotation fixes it then I am happy.

This is because #Named("name") here is a path parameter. Note this part of your discovery document:
"sayHi": {
"id": "myApi.sayHi",
"path": "{name}",
This means to call this method, you append the name to the base path, so the correct command is this:
$ curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '' https://appid.appspot.com/_ah/api/myApi/v1/sayHi/test
{
"data": "Hi, test",
"kind": "myApi#resourcesItem",
"etag": "\"yN6wlOVUuMN6KwnZ3LSrHdbVqwM/EMLxMt_QPFPG4ZrTIVpiyuCWflg\""
