Question 103 - CAD discussion

The ServiceNow REST API is a web service that allows you to interact with the ServiceNow platform using HTTP requests and responses. The ServiceNow REST API supports the following methods:

POST: This method allows you to create a new record or execute an action on the ServiceNow platform. For example, you can use the POST method to create an incident or run a script.

GET: This method allows you to retrieve information from the ServiceNow platform. For example, you can use the GET method to get the details of a user or a table.

DELETE: This method allows you to delete a record or a resource from the ServiceNow platform. For example, you can use the DELETE method to delete an attachment or a workflow context.

PUT: This method allows you to update a record or a resource on the ServiceNow platform. For example, you can use the PUT method to update the state of a task or the value of a system property.

PATCH: This method allows you to update a record or a resource on the ServiceNow platform by sending only the changes. For example, you can use the PATCH method to update the short description of an incident or the order of a module.

The method COPY is not part of the ServiceNow REST API. There is no COPY method in the HTTP protocol. To copy a record or a resource on the ServiceNow platform, you need to use the POST method with the clone action.
