Hello,
I am very new in creating REST get APIs, currently I have a working REST API script that gather data which resides within ServiceNOW environment.
My question is: how to reference a REST API query using a "start with content" parameter?
example(see list below) - I would like to focus my REST API query based on task_numbers that begin with "INC" and not "CHG"
%2Ctask_number%^inc
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
| Task_number |
| INC50391737 |
| INC50390306 |
| INC50388697 |
| INC50381295 |
| INC50373481 |
| INC50372509 |
| INC50371836 |
| INC50352470 |
| CHG50013255 |
| CHG50013198 |

Hi @Anonymous ,
Normally I'd ask you to please post a) a link to the relevand service now API documentation and b) the query you're using (after removing confidential information from it), but maybe we don't have to go there.
Please confirm my understanding:
For each item in that "Task_number" column that starts with INC you'd like to do what with it?
Example answers I'd expect are: pass it to a function (found in separate query) that calls the API to get data...
If that's the case, then maybe you could first filter that column to keep only items that start with INC.
P.S.: Seeing at least the query would help
Thanks for responding so quickly - my sole intention is to filter my initial REST GET query to return only task_numbers that begin with "INC" and not "CHG"
