Attachment Upload Rest API - JAVA

[arjun6080]

Hello ,

I am trying to upload an attachment to an ticket using below JAVA code.

String postData = "{\"table_name\":\"u_portal\",\"table_sys_id\":\"091feee8ab18110c778\",\"uploadFile\":\"/ServiceNow_Rest/src/com/servicenow/integration/upload1.JPG\"}";

  CredentialsProvider credsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();

  credsProvider.setCredentials(new AuthScope(new HttpHost("service-now.com")),

  new UsernamePasswordCredentials("name", "pwd"));

  CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom().setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credsProvider).build();

  try {

  HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("https://service-now.com/api/now/attachment/upload");

  httpPost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");

  httpPost.setHeader("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data");

  HttpEntity entity = new ByteArrayEntity(postData.getBytes("utf-8"));

  httpPost.setEntity(entity);

  System.out.println("Executing request " + httpPost.getRequestLine());

  CloseableHttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpPost);

  try {

  System.out.println("----------------------------------------");

  System.out.println(response.getStatusLine());

  String responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());

  System.out.println(responseBody);

....

Getting

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

{"error":{"detail":null,"message":"Failed to create the attachment. File part might be missing in the request."},"status":"failure"}

can someone help on this ?

  HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("https://service-now.com/api/now/attachment/upload");

replace to

  HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("<your instance URL>");

Eg: <your instance URL>=https://dev14202.service-now.com

check the link below.

Attachment API - POST /now/attachment/file

Attachment API

you can try with https://<your url>/api/now/table/ecc_queue   also.

Hi Mallikarjun,

Can you paste the entire code so I can have a look?

after changing the URL, are you still getting the "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request".

Thanks,
