Hi @hemanth40

This curl code is used to access/create records in the ServiceNow instance by the 3rd party applications which supports Curl.

May I know what you are trying to achieve?

Regards,

Siva

@hemanth40 you have to use REST API.

You can't run curl cmdlets in servicenow

Hi @hemanth40 ,

you have to convert that curl into the ServiceNow script

you can refer Below Docs
