This page describes Spanner RPC global and regional endpoints. You can
use a global or regional service endpoint to make requests to
Spanner.

Use a [regional endpoint](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/endpoints.md.txt) to enforce regional
restriction and ensure that your data is stored and processed within the same
region.

The Spanner **RPC global endpoint** is `spanner.googleapis.com`.

The **RPC regional endpoint** follows the format
`spanner.<REGION>.rep.googleapis.com`. For example, if you want to enforce
data guarantees in the regional instance configuration Dammam (`me-central2`),
use `spanner.me-central2.rep.googleapis.com` as your regional endpoints. For
more information, see [Global and regional service endpoints](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/endpoints.md.txt).

Only `me-central2` is available as a possible regional endpoint.
