ServiceNow REST API

The ServiceNow REST API is a comprehensive web service interface that leverages REST principles to enable seamless integration and interaction with the ServiceNow platform. It supports a wide range of functionalities, including data manipulation, workflow automation, and custom application development. The API provides robust security features, such as OAuth for secure authentication and ACLs (Access Control Lists) for fine-grained authorization. Advanced features include the ability to create Scripted REST APIs, which offer flexibility in defining custom endpoints and payloads, as well as support for versioning to manage API lifecycle effectively. The API also emphasizes best practices in documentation, error handling, and testing to ensure reliable and maintainable integrations.
