I am new to ServiceNow platform. I am exploring the ways to create/extend tables using ServiceNOW RESTAPI. I am unable to find the API and methods to create a custom table and create custom fields. Any help in this regard is appreciable. 

Thank You.

The script include would look something like this. You can make changes and invoke this code from where you need it to be invoked from.

 

(/*String*/ tableLabel, /*String*/ tableName, /*String?*/ parentTableName, nonSystemExports) {


   // Update mode - ensure the table does not already exist


   if (this.tableExists(tableName))


   return;


   var creator = new TableDescriptor(tableName, tableLabel);


   if (parentTableName && !parentTableName.nil()) {


   creator.setExtends(parentTableName);


   }


   creator.create();



   if (parentTableName == 'sf_sm_flow')


   this.addUpdateSynch(tableName, parentTableName);



   if (nonSystemExports != undefined)


   this._exportTable(tableName, nonSystemExports);


   },

Thanks Nitesh and Prateek for your quick reply. By going through the them, it looks like there are no direct methods (post/put) in REST API or webservice that can be used to create/extend a custom table! 

In the below specified article, its mentioned that using Post method of REST API , table can be created!  I could not find the parameters used in Table API!
