Downloading file from ServiceNow using Rest API

[DKS]

Hi,

First of all, I have gone through the documentation on Attachment API. I am able to get the repsonse from the API and also the Binary response(as mentioned in the doc) for the attachment. I dont quite understand how to decode this reponse and create back the original file that is there as attachment in SN.

Actually I have created a script in python and my response has characters like this - ��]�������VX�M��꥟�����2I

The same I am getting from postman as well. Please help how can I create a actual file from this.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing the code.

Unfortunately this is not working for me. It may be due to any restriction that I have in my workplace. This produces error as "socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed"

I have followed the documentation here if you could share the relevant code that would be a great help.

My code:

headers={Authorization: Token_no, Accept":"*/*}

r=requests.get(Api_endpoint/attachment/sys_id/file,headers)

data=r.content

"Data produces the content something like this h�b```"V �� Ȁ �L@Q� �@���`6��b�c�6Lv��9.... how to decode and create back the actual file from this content?

Thanks

Try to recreate this in a PDI.

Share only teh code that actually downloads the file content so someone who knows python can reproduce the issue.

Sorry I'm not able to get you to a resolution here.
