Best way to import data from an external source (via an API)?

[Kenneth3]

Hi,

I want to import data from SNOW License Manager into ServiceNow. This data has to be imported and transformed into the cmdb_ci_computer table.

My question is, what the best way to accomplish this? 

1. SNOW (SNOW Web API) has an API to retrieve data into ServiceNow?
2. Use the Import Set API from ServiceNow to retrieve this data?
3. Use IntegrationHub with Flow Designer?
4. Other method?

I hope that there are some people with some experience to do this the best way. If there are some questions about this, please let me know.

Kind regards,
Ken

Hello

You can also plan to use "data source" and create a connection from external system and then use the scheduled data import to schedule the data sources at some specific time/duration to retrieve the data in ServiceNow.

Data sources are used to create an import set so that data can be processed, if necessary, prior to being mapped onto a production table.

For more info, please visit Data sources 

Below are the Data source types

Please Mark ✅ Correct/helpful, if applicable, Thanks!!
