REST API authentication methods

[ilanpcy]

hey,

i'm developing a mechanism to interact with service-now, so far i've been using username and password as auth method.

are there any other methods?
couldn't find any (that i managed to configure)

thanks

Hello ilanpcy,

ServiceNow REST APIs use basic authentication, mutual authentication and OAuth to authorize user access to REST APIs/endpoints. You can also configure your instance to use multi-factor authentication to access REST APIs. 

Please see below URL for more information

Please Mark ✅ Correct/helpful, if applicable, Thanks!!

@Sulabh Garg The URL you referenced seems to be for OUTBOUND REST API Authentication.  Can you confirm, please?

This article, here , makes it sound like all inbound REST API calls require a Username and Password.

Or am I misunderstanding something?  Thank you.

Did you ever find a solution for this?
