Can I create multiple records in one POST using the REST API Explorer?

[bonsai]

I'm looking to create records with REST.

This is required for functional testing currently under development.

I'm looking for the ability to create records at the same time, something that can't be replicated with features like import.

I believe I can create a record using the REST API Explorer, but it seems I can only create one record.

Can I create multiple records?

Hi @bonsai ,

To create multiple records in ServiceNow using the REST API, use the batch API endpoint. I've provided some more information below, See if it helps:

Batch API Endpoint:

POST https://<instance_name>.service-now.com/api/now/v1/batch

Request Header:

{
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
  "Accept": "application/json",
  "Authorization": "Basic <base64-encoded-credentials>"
}

Request Body Example:

{
  "batch_request": [
    {
      "method": "POST",
      "url": "/api/now/table/incident",
      "body": {
        "short_description": "Issue with email",
        "priority": "2"
      }
    },
    {
      "method": "POST",
      "url": "/api/now/table/incident",
      "body": {
        "short_description": "Cannot access VPN",
        "priority": "1"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Try playing around with it.

Thanks,

Hope this helps.

You can also use importSetAPI to insert multiple records:
