I am working with https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/reference/api/utah/rest/c_TableAPI
and I get a list of incidents I need for the next step.
Next step is: I need to assign certain incidents to me. I wonder if anyone could help with service-now REST API.
I need an example for assigning a given incident to myself.
21/11/2023, when I try this snippet (according to https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/reference/api/utah/rest/c_TableAPI#table-PUT):
id_incident = '49akkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk3'
url = 'https://PPPPPPPPP.service-now.com/api/now/table/incident/{}'.format(id_incident)
user = "OOOOOOO"
pwd = "OOOOOOO"
# Set proper headers
headers = {"Content-Type":"application/json","Accept":"application/json"}
data = {"assigned_to":"12cccccccccccccccccca"}
# Do the HTTP request
response = requests.put(url, auth=(user, pwd), headers=headers, data=data, timeout=None)
res = response.json()
I get this error printing res:
{'error': {'message': 'Exception while reading request',
'detail': 'The payload is not valid JSON.'},
'status': 'failure'}
After reading the API documentation, I believe that the API requests a JSON- formatted string in the body. Perhaps you could try the following :
response = requests.put(url, auth=(user, pwd), headers=headers, json=data, timeout=None)
