Hello,

Is there a public REST API(analogical to Table API) that contains a method similar to the gs.getMessage method?
Alternatively, is there public REST API for the System Localization module?

Thanks!

Hi @Stefan Uzunov 

 

  • I believe there is no public REST API specifically dedicated to the gs.getMessage method or the System Localization module.
  • However, there are other ways to achieve localization and handle messages using REST APIs in ServiceNow using the Translation API and the Table API
  • The Translation API allows you to translate text into different languages. You can use the /api/now/translation endpoint to perform translations.
  • This API can help you retrieve localized versions of text, but it's not a direct replacement for gs.getMessage.
  • The Table API allows you to access records from localization-related tables like sys_ui_message, sys_ui_macro, or sys_choice that store translated messages, labels, and choices.
  • You can use the Table API to retrieve the localized version of a message for a given language.

Please, don't forget to mark my answer as correct if it solves your issue or mark it as helpful if it is relevant for you!
