Hello @shashanksha 

It's because your instance cannot be accessed from outside without authentication by default. That would be extremely crude with no security to speak of. 

You need to choose Basic Auth , use your own instance  username and password and make sure you have access to the content you are trying to access. For the password you can set your own password in the user table. 

Please refer below link I have given complete implementation using basic auth and Oauth setup.

That's OOB behavior.

You will require authentication either Basic or OAuth to interact with ServiceNow instance.

Also remember if you are using Basic Auth then that user should have all table level ACLs to GET, PUT or POST etc

Hello @Ankur Bawiskar ,

need to integrate third party tool with servicenow using API key. How can we use it.

Thanks,

@shashanksha 

3rd party will consume ServiceNow endpoint?

if yes then you can use either Basic Auth or OAuth 2.0 (more secured) and share the details with them

How to configure OAuth 2.0 in ServiceNow and share details is explained in my blow below

OAuth 2.0 with Inbound REST
