Service Catalog for APIs?

[MarioP1]

We’re going to be building out an API service catalog so that people can understand what we have available for data and business functions through our custom APIs we’ve built outside of ServiceNow.

My initial thought was to build this in SharePoint Online so that it can be searchable for anyone in the company. But, I had a thought that this may also be something that can be done in ServiceNow.

I’m wondering what the capabilities are. Basically, it’s a list of APIs with a bunch of data points about it, from endpoints, to owners, to data descriptions, etc. Is something like this available in ServiceNow or would it be custom work to create?

Thanks

Hello,

Please go to REST API Explorer in the let Navigation pane and select Service Catalog

There are already bunch of Service Catalog APIs with pre-built endpoints and you can a simulation test in this area

These are completely OOTB and if you want to achieve more you have to build custom ones

Thank you,
Vikram

Hi Mario,

Look into table API. Example below are to get details of a catalog, order now checkout and submit order api.

Catalog details: -

https://<your_instance>.service-now.com/api/sn_sc/servicecatalog/items/<sys_id of the catalog item>

Order Now:-

https://<your_instance>.service-now.com/api/sn_sc/servicecatalog/items/<sys_id of the catalog item>/order_now

Check Out:-

https://<your_instance>.service-now.com/api/sn_sc/servicecatalog/cart/checkout

Submit:-

https://<your_instance>.service-now.com/api/sn_sc/servicecatalog/cart/submit_order

Please mark my answer correct it it helps solve your problem.

Thank you.

Thanks for your response and sharing the ideas.

We decided to Knowledge articles to achieve the ask of saving REST API details for other enterprise applications.
