1.What is the api to get all names and displaynames of all tables in sys_dictionary ?

For eg

There is an Incident(incident) table, where 'Incident' is displayname and 'incident' is table name.

How to get all display names and table names from sys_dictionary using web services.

2. What is the api to get all fields of a particular table providing associative table name ?

You can do this with any number of API's, but for simplicity I would say use REST.


To get the table names and display values, do a GET call on the sys_db_object table.



GET https://INSTANCEPREFIX.service-now.com/api/now/table/sys_db_object



The Label will be the display name, and the Name will be the table name.

Also for #2, do a GET call on the sys_dictionary table. Add a filter condition by the name of the table.


GET https://INSTANCEPREFIX.service-now.com/api/now/table/sys_dictionary?sysparm_query=name=NAMEOFTABLE^i...
