people-analytics-itsm-sdk 0.0.15

People analytics itsm sdk is used to facilitate integrations and also code reuse

people-analytics-itsm-sdk

Interact with various ServiceNow functionality within your python application, includes the ability to perform create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations on existing tables, insert data into, retrieve information from and submit tickets.

Installation

# or PyPI
pip install people-analytics-itsm-sdk

Environment variables

To use people-analytics-itsm-sdk library, you need set four environment variables:

# ---DOTENV EXAMPLE---
ITSM_SERVICENOW_URL=https://service-now.com # base url of you servicenow server
ITSM_SERVICENOW_API_TOKEN= # servicenow auth token
ITSM_SERVICENOW_API_USER= # servicenow user
ITSM_SERVICENOW_API_PASSWORD= # servicenow user password

# you can choose beetwen user and password or api token to authentication

We recommended you to create a .env file in your project root to set environment variables.

Coding in Windows OS

On coding in Windows OS, you need set the environment variables before import people-analytics-itsm-sdk library

import os
# set environment variables before import people-analytics-itsm-sdk library
os.environ["ITSM_SERVICENOW_URL"] = "https://your-service-now-base-path.com"
os.environ["ITSM_SERVICENOW_API_TOKEN"] = "Your api token"
os.environ["ITSM_SERVICENOW_API_USER"] = "[e-mail]"
os.environ["ITSM_SERVICENOW_API_PASSWORD"] = "your password"

from people_analytics_itsm_sdk.sdk import Records

Example Usage

Get data from servicenow table

To get data from servicenow table, we use Records class.

from people_analytics_itsm_sdk.sdk import Records


# This code get all records in one servicenow table
table_name = "sys_user" # replace this with table name are you need
records = Records(table=table_name)

table_data = records.all() # all() method return all records

Querying

You can apply filters and select columns in the table using Records().query method. For example:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from people_analytics_itsm_sdk.sdk import Records


table_name = "incident"
records = Records(table=table_name)

# define date interval to filter
start = datetime(1970, 1, 1)
end = datetime.now() - timedelta(days=20)

# query registers of incident with number started with 'INC0123', created between 1970-01-01 and 20 days old
records.query.field('number').starts_with('INC0123')\
    .AND().field('sys_created_on').between(start, end)\
    .AND().field('sys_updated_on').order_descending()

data = records.all() # return all records of query

Update tables

to create, delete and update records in a servicenow table, you can use Manager class.

from people_analytics_itsm_sdk.sdk import Manager


table_name = "name of table you need update"
manager = Manager(table=table_name)

# create new register in table example
register_to_create = {
    "field1": "value1",
    "field2": "value2",
}

manager.create(data=register_to_create)

# update register in table example
register_update_sys_id = "id of register you need update"
register_data_to_update = {
    "field1": "value4"
}
manager.update(sys_id=register_update_sys_id, data=register_data_to_update)

# delete register in table example
register_delete_sys_id = "id of register you need delete"
manager.delete(sys_id=register_delete_sys_id)

Submit tickets

To submit tickets, you can use ProducerServiceCatalog class.

from people_analytics_itsm_sdk.sdk import ProducerServiceCatalog


survey_catalog_id = "id of your ticket survey in servicenow catalog"
variables = {
    "question1": "value1",
    "question2": "value2"
}

producer_catalog = ProducerServiceCatalog()

result = producer_catalog.store(catalog_id=survey_catalog_id, variables=variables)
