Send attachment using REST api

[Paramahanns]

Hello All,

Can you please help me understand how the requirement can be delivered..

I have seen many articles on posting an attachment to a specific incident/ change tickets. But take an example I want send a excel file to the below the api

https://<Servicenowurl>/api/now/attachment/file

then Service now imports it to the respective table.

Ex: Take a csv that has around 100 contacts and I post to a REST API link. Finally the excel has to be opened and loaded into the users table or a temporary table of service now.

If any body has done this please reply back on the steps and code.

Thanks.

Regards

Thanks for your replies. I had a look before I posted the question. But this is related to the attachment that can be posted to a incident ticket or change ticket as I earlier mentioned. The requirement that I am asking is importing an attachment into the user table as an example.

Steps are same for adding an attachment to sys_user also. I tried below steps on OOB demo instance and able to attach an attchment successfully:

1. Login to an OOB Geneva instance.

2. System Web Services > REST API Explorer

3. Namespace: now, API Name: Attachment API, API Version: latest

4. Upload an attachment from a multipart form (POST)

5. Request headers:

      a) Request format: multipart/form-data

      b) Response format: application/json

      c) Authorization: Send as me

      d) Content-Type: application/json (added new)

6. Request body:

      a) table_name: sys_user

      b) table_sys_id: 62826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5df1 (sys_id of abel.tuter OOB user)

7. Upload a file: select as per your choice and click Send button.

Result: Attachment is added to sys_user "abel.tuter" record.

Let me know if you need further assistance!

Thanks for your replies. I will try to explain better. It is not adding the attachment to the user record. Ex

I have a excel sheet with 100 records

1. Param

2. Lalit

3. Kumar

4. Hanns

Like this I have 100 records and using the rest file upload I just need to upload all the records from the excel sheet as a record in the sys_user table.
