Authentication

To interact with ServiceNow using the SDK, you must first authenticate your client. The SDK supports multiple authentication methods to accommodate different security requirements and deployment environments.

Choose an authentication method

ServiceNow provides multiple OAuth and non‑OAuth authentication models.
The SDK currently supports:

• Basic Authentication
• Authorization Code (Private)
• Authorization Code (Public)
• Client Credentials
• JWT Token
• Resource Owner Password Credential (ROPC)

Each page provides a playbook‑style guide describing:

• Required ServiceNow configuration
• Required values for your application
• How to initialize the SDK

Next steps

Once authenticated, you can begin performing operations:

• Table Operations: Interact with ServiceNow tables.
• Attachments: Upload and download file attachments.
• Batch API: Execute multiple operations in a single request.
