Hello, 

I'm trying to use OAuth2 to access ServiceNow through its REST APIs and I've followed the guides here:

  1. https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/paris-platform-administration/page/administer/security/reference/r_OAuthAPIRequestParameters.html
  2. https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_blog&sys_id=56086e4fdb9014146064eeb5ca961957

But I'm constantly getting HTTP 401 unauthorized, what should I check ?

Not very sure on this.

If the token gets expired it's the ServiceNow's responsibility to handle it.
