Call a processor in REST API

[Kannan Nair]

I am new to REST API and processor. 

Can the processor can be used as an alternative to REST API?

I created a demo processor and it is working fine, below is the code

Is there any way I can call this processor in a BR/rest API call?

(function process(g_request, g_response, g_processor) {
	
	var name = g_request.getParameter("name");
	//g_processor.writeOutput("text/html; charset=utf-8","This is a Test");
	gs.info('processors'+name);
	var gr=new GlideRecord('sys_user');
	gr.addQuery("sys_id",name);
	gr.query();
	while(gr.next())
		{
			if(gr.country=="US")
				{
				g_processor.redirect('../hrportal?sysparm_domain_restore=false&sysparm_stack=no');	
				}
			else
				{
					g_processor.redirect('../sp');
					var ps=new GlideRecord('incident');
					ps.initialize();
					ps.short_description='test';
					ps.insert();
				}
		}
	/*if(!gs.hasRole('admin'))
		{
		g_processor.redirect('https://dev50540.service-now.com/hrportal?sysparm_domain_restore=false&sysparm_stack=no');
	g_processor.writeOutput("text/plain", "Hello " + name);
		}
	else
			g_processor.redirect('https://dev50540.service-now.com/home');
*/
	
})(g_request, g_response, g_processor);

I think the better practice here would be to take whatever code you need to call from both the processor and rest api and put it in a script include, and then call that script include from either place.

Hi Brad

Thanks for the reply. Can we use Processor as an alternative for REST API? Can it be used for a Servicenow-Servicenow integration?

I would recommend you to go through the processor Docs and then you will get a clear picture about it. Where majorly Processors are used to build the custom URL

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/london-application-development/page/script/processors/concept/c_Processors.html

Suppose if you want to call Rest API multiple times then make use of script action concepts

Following links should be helpful:

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Hi Sanker,
Processors are deprecated now.
Scripted REST API can be used for ServiceNow-ServiceNow integrations.
