How to check ServiceNow instance version through REST API

ydai · ‎02-02-2017

Hi, I'm using table API to communicate with ServiceNow instance. Is there anyway I can get the ServiceNow instance version through table API please?

Thanks.

Hi Yi,

Not through a REST API that I'm aware of. You can get the information from

in an XML format (change INSTANCENAME) to your instance name.)

I don't think this is 100% guaranteed to be accurate (version mismatches), but you could check the mid.version property and get an idea from there:

api/now/table/sys_properties/8bc10c8f13302200734530128144b0a7

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't use MID server. There is no such a record in my sys_properties table.

Apparently there are a few additional properties that may give you what you need. Do you have any of the following?

You could use the same api, just swap out the sys_id. Should get you the same general info.
