Service Catalog Open API · SN Doc Reader

The Service Catalog Open API provides endpoints to create and retrieve service specifications.

Use this API to manage service catalog information between external systems and the ServiceNow AI Platform. The Service Catalog Open API is a ServiceNow® implementation of the TM Forum Service Catalog API REST specification. This implementation is based on the TMF633 Service Catalog API REST Specification Version 4, October 2020.

This API is included in the Product Catalog Advanced application, which is available on the ServiceNow Store.

This API's endpoints are provided within the sn_tmf-api namespace under the Product Catalog Open API name:

Create Service Category (POST) - Service Catalog Open - POST /api/sn_tmf_api/catalogmanagement/serviceCategory
Create Service Specification (POST) - Service Catalog Open - POST /servicespecification
Delete Service Category (DELETE) - Service Catalog Open - DELETE /api/sn_tmf_api/catalogmanagement/serviceCategory/{id}
Get Service Category (GET) - Service Catalog Open - GET /api/sn_tmf_api/catalogmanagement/serviceCategory/{id}
Get Service Specification (GET) - Service Catalog Open - GET /servicespecification/{specificationId}
List Service Specifications (GET) - Service Catalog Open - GET /servicespecification
Update Service Category (PATCH) - Service Catalog Open - POST /api/sn_tmf_api/catalogmanagement/serviceCategory

The calling user must have the sn_prd_pm_adv.catalog_integrator role.

This API creates and updates data in the following tables.

Characteristic [sn_prd_pm_characteristic]
Characteristic Option [sn_prd_pm_characteristic_option]
Service Specification [sn_prd_pm_service_specification]
Specification Relationship [sn_prd_pm_specification_relationship]
