Processing REST response from public link

AhmadE · ‎05-21-2024

Hi all,

I'm looking to sync public weather data to a table in ServiceNow for reporting purposes, however what looks like a simple GET call is not working.

For reference, this is a sample URL which you can paste in your browser to see the response as well as any online API testing tool: https://api.weather.bom.gov.au/v1/locations/r7hgdpk/forecasts/daily

I receive a 400 response with the below message

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Error</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>
An error occurred while processing your request.<p>
Reference&#32;&#35;253&#46;42052017&#46;1716276213&#46;1168e795
<P>https&#58;&#47;&#47;errors&#46;edgesuite&#46;net&#47;253&#46;42052017&#46;1716276213&#46;1168e795</P>
</BODY></HTML>

I've tried adding headers that I find auto-generated by Postman/online tools, like "Accept: */*" and ""Accept-Encoding: gzip" to no avail, if anyone has a fix that would be appreciated.

can you share how you are doing this? worked for me first go.

i set up a new outbound rest message in our test environment pointed at that end point and it worked without any further configuration.

It works in my PDI as well as my other development instance so this issue is specific to one of my instances.
