pysnc 1.0.5

Python SNC (REST) API

ServiceNow Python API

What: PySnc is a python interface for the ServiceNow and the Table API. It is designed to mimic the familiar GlideRecord interface you know with pythonic support where applicable.

Why: Spawned from the desire to interact with ServiceNow data in a familiar and consistent manner

Install

pip install pysnc

Quick Start

from pysnc import ServiceNowClient

client = ServiceNowClient('https://dev0000.service-now.com', ('integration.user', password))

gr = client.GlideRecord('sys_user')
gr.add_query('user_name', 'admin')
gr.query()
for r in gr:
	print(r.sys_id)

Or you can more traditionally:

while gr.next():
	print(gr.sys_id);

It is recommended you use OAuth, however:

from pysnc import ServiceNowClient, ServiceNowOAuth2

client = ServiceNowClient('dev0000', ServiceNowOAuth2('integration.user', password))
