Using REST API to submit request for Service Catalog

[Girish5]

The use case is to invoke REST API from Jenkins and submit a Service request from Service Catalog. Checked the Service Now documentation and it says REST API is for getting the data from the Service Now tables. What we are looking for is REST API which will represent the function "Submit Request" in the Snow UI. We are using London.

Have you checked cart API in servicenow?

Yes I checked, but it is scripted API. Can we call this over REST? As per my reading, scripted API cannot be invoked over REST

You should be able to do it using REST.

Check REST API explorer in servicenow and name space is sn_sc

and use Buy Item (POST) from the list

Thanks for the information. We do not have access to the explorer, however I could access APIs which has good information on creating the cart item. We will use that.
