Please help me with example.

Thanks

Hi Sneha,

The below script should work.

(function process(/*RESTAPIRequest*/ request, /*RESTAPIResponse*/ response) {
     var hdrs = {},
   attachment_sys_id = '1852fd52471321009db4b5b08b9a71a9';

   hdrs['Content-Type'] = 'image/jpeg';
   response.setStatus(200);
   response.setHeaders(hdrs);

     var writer = response.getStreamWriter();
     var attachmentStream = new GlideSysAttachmentInputStream(attachment_sys_id);
   writer.writeStream(attachmentStream);
})(request, response);

Refer Scripted REST API example - streaming file attachments

Hope this helps. Mark the answer as correct/helpful based on impact.

Thanks

Hi Antin,

This is for only one sys_id ? What if I have upload multiple documents which inculdes excel aswell moreover how will it get the incident for which I have to upload the document ?

Hi Sneha,

If you want upload documents into ServiceNow, please refer the below. You may create a Scripted API and use the Attachment API to handle single or multiple files. The script I gave above is to download/GET attachments from ServiceNow.

Attachment API - POST /now/attachment/file

Hope this helps. Mark the answer as correct/helpful based on impact.
