service-now-api-sdk 0.0.26

Service Now API SDK is used to facilitate integrations, automations and also code reuse

ServiceNow API SDK

Check out our GitHub Repository!

Check out ServiceNow REST API documentation.

Interact with ServiceNow functionalities for 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

pip install service-now-api-sdk

Environment variables

To use service-now-api-sdk library, you need set four environment variables:

# ---DOTENV EXAMPLE---
SERVICENOW_URL=https://service-now.com # base url of you servicenow server
SERVICENOW_API_TOKEN= # servicenow auth token
SERVICENOW_API_USER= # servicenow user
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 service-now-api-sdk library

import os
# set environment variables before import service-now-api-sdk library
os.environ["SERVICENOW_URL"] = "https://your-service-now-base-path.com"
os.environ["SERVICENOW_API_TOKEN"] = "Your api token"
os.environ["SERVICENOW_API_USER"] = "[e-mail]"
os.environ["SERVICENOW_API_PASSWORD"] = "your password"

from service_now_api_sdk.sdk import Records

Example Usage

Get data from servicenow table

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

from service_now_api_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 service_now_api_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 service_now_api_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 service_now_api_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)

Get ticket plataform URL by query or ticket number

To get ticket plataform URL by query or ticket number, you can use aux_functions function.

from service_now_api_sdk.sdk import aux_functions

query = QueryBuilder().field('number').starts_with("RIT")

url = aux_functions.make_platform_url_list_view(table_name="sc_req_item", query=query, interface="list_view")

print(url)

Output:
    https://stone.service-now.com/sc_req_item_list.do?sysparm_query=numberSTARTSWITHRIT
