I would like to leverage Rest API for integration with Service Now. And we want to leverage API key for access, so I have 2 questions:

1) how should the API key be created for ServiceNow?

2) If use the API key to access, what should the Authentication header like?

Thanks for your response!

Did you ever find anything?  I can't seem to get this to work in ServiceNow although it works in Postman.
