Documents API overview

The Documents API manages ServiceNow Document Management: create and link documents, explore folders, stream document content, and manage versions.

Basic usage

Access it through the Now() namespace:

documents := client.Now().Documents()

// Search documents and folders
results, err := documents.Explore().Get(context.Background(), nil)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

// Download a document's content
content, err := documents.Content("{documentSysID}").Get(context.Background(), nil)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

// List a document's versions
versions, err := documents.Versions("{documentSysID}").Get(context.Background(), nil)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
