Hi @kanikag 

Not sure, what is your exact use case but have look: https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/yokohama-api-reference/page/integrate/inbound-rest/concept/c_...

I won't expose sys_dictionary data via table API as it contains all the table information.

Instead you can use scripted rest api and handle the logic within script and give proper API response.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
