New Inbound OAuth 2.0 Features Have you ever tried to build an app that integrates with ServiceNow, only to find that you couldn’t issue API calls on behalf of a specific user unless that user had credentials stored locally in the instance?
APIs
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.
