Help to use the Rest API to create a new normal change

[Brad Milne]

Documentation says that this curl will work:

curl "https://instance.servicenow.com/api/sn_chg_rest/v1/change" \ --request PATCH \ --header "Accept: application/json" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data "{\"short_desription\": \"Reboot server on scheduled interval\", }" \ --user "username":"password"

That's wrong however, and needs to be POST.

Using POST, get the response:

Change Request cannot be created with invalid parameters: {\"short_desription\":[\"Reboot server on scheduled interval\"],

 With no indication anywhere of what those parameters should be.

The doco also says, under `Query parameters`:

Name-value pairs for the fields to update. Request body parameters override URL parameters. However, required parameters must be specified in the URL.

Still don't know what the required parameters are.

curl "https://dev112780.service-now.com/api/now/table/change_request" \
--request POST \
--header "Accept:application/json" \
--header "Content-Type:application/json" \
--data "{\"requested_by\":\"Abel Tuter (Architect)\",\"short_description\":\"testing via post API\"}" \
--user 'admin':'admin'

I tried this way it works.

response body will have the info.

That works, many thanks. I can't mark it as correct yet until I have some idea why I cannot use the Change Management API (/sn_chg_rest/change).

Its working via this method also

curl "https://dev11880.service-now.com/api/sn_chg_rest/change/normal" \
--request POST \
--header "Accept:application/json" \
--header "Content-Type:application/json" \
--data "{\"requested_by\":\"Abel Tuter (Architect)\",\"short_description\":\"testing via post API using change rest\"}" \
--user 'admin':'admin'

Result

You have to define type of change

check from servicenow rest api explorer

If its helpful,please mark answer as correct

Thanks to anshu I am able to create a Change using the Table API, and I can modify and retrieve it using the Change Management API. I would be more comfortable if I could create with the Change Management API also. Thanks
