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



https://INSTANCENAME.service-now.com/xmlstats.do



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.
