Today I posted a 21-part series on YouTube on Scripted REST APIs:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrhqGp3sUzhvrPxGcTawhMl6v49ACCTlG
It covers:
- creating an API and its resources (GET, POST, etc.)
- the various platform features to secure them (ACLs, GlideRecordSecure, OAuth 2.0, API Access Policies, Authentication Scopes)
- testing using Postman
- creating and importing demo data using Mockaroo (via an integration)
The series demonstrates building an API from start to finish. Most of the videos can however be watched individually without too much difficulty. Scripted REST APIs (that is, creating a custom API in your ServiceNow instance for incoming requests) is touched on in a few of our platform courses (I recall we once had more content on it). As a result of student questions and my own desire to go deeper into these topics, I created these videos based on my own learning.
Note: This has been a personal project of mine (largely created in my own time) and should be seen as community-created content.
