Last week, I attended the Integrate 2016 + API:World Conference & Expo (and Hackathon!) in San Jose. I met some great people, learned about some pretty interesting APIs and Integration products, and as a guy who spent his first several years with the ServiceNow platform working on APIs and building integrations, it was great getting to geek out on a subject I’ve grown to love.
Hackathon
I spent Saturday/Sunday hacking on the HPE Haven Sentiment API, meeting other developers, and was thoroughly impressed by the resulting hackathon projects.
I know it’s late in the day, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to blog about International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
In this quick tutorial, we’ll create a simple scoped integration app that uses ARRPI, the Talk like a Pirate translation API.
I’ve already created a skeleton (arrrrrr, see what I did there?) scoped app where I’ll write my code, and I’ll assume you know how to do the same (if not, check out Building a ServiceNow Application on the Developer Portal).
One of the things dave.slusher and I do every day is read/respond to the feedback you submit on developer.servicenow.com. We recently noticed that a number of developers have been running into an odd dictionary issue. This issue could occur in any app, but I’ll focus on fixing it in the Marketing Events application we build as part of the Building a sample ServiceNow application course.
**The Problem
** Applies to: Helsinki
RestMessageV2 API Applies to: Geneva, Helsinki and beyond.
Have you ever needed to:
Retrieve something using RESTMessageV2 Save that thing as an attachment on a record Do something with the newly generated attachment? This recently came up as a question over in the sndevs slack channel, and I realized that I knew how to accomplish #1 and #2, but didn’t know how to actually identify the attachment to achieve #3 without some ugly hacks.
