Rest API

Hello Everyone,

I'm currently learning REST Message and Scripted REST APIs in ServiceNow, specifically for bi-directional ServiceNow-to-ServiceNow integration.

I've gone through several articles and documentation, but I'm finding it difficult to understand the complete flow because the information is scattered across different sources.

Could anyone recommend a comprehensive learning resource (documentation, course, YouTube playlist, blog, or guide) that covers:

  • REST fundamentals
  • Outbound integration using REST Messages
  • Inbound integration using Scripted REST APIs
  • Authentication (Basic Auth/OAuth)
  • ServiceNow-to-ServiceNow bi-directional integration
  • Best practices and real-world examples

Any recommendations or learning roadmap would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
