what is difference between relative path and resource path in REST Integrations? Please provide examples as well.

Simple example would be as follows,

When you want to generalize a path, say,

https://instance.service-now.com/login.do 

Comments: In above path will not take you to any page unlesss you replace instance with actual instance number like devxxxxx

resource path:

https://devxxxxx.service-now.com/login.do

Comments: Above URL when "xxxxx" is replaced with actual instance number will take you to the resource

For detailed technical answers, please refer to docs

what about the relative path?

[anusha60]

Hi,

Relative Path is a path that is relative to the current page's path location. 

eg: 

The current page : http://www.site.com/products/sales

and you are referring to another page : http://www.site.com/products/sales/summary.html

then relative path will be - /summary.html 

Resource path is the standard / home path to the current page.

In above example "http://www.site.com/products/sales" will be the resource path.

Thanks
