Which of the following is a use of the ServiceNow REST API Explorer?

• A. Create sample code for sending REST requests to ServiceNow
• B. Debug server-side scripts
• C. Manage user access control lists
• D. Generate UI policies

Answer: (A)

The REST API Explorer is a tool designed to connect to ServiceNow’s REST endpoints, build requests, and see how they behave, including generating sample code you can reuse. It lets you pick an endpoint, choose the HTTP method, add parameters and headers, set authentication, and then run the request to view the live response. Because it can also generate code samples in various languages for sending those REST requests, it’s a fast way to prototype integrations and understand exactly how to call ServiceNow resources from external systems. That’s why creating sample code for sending REST requests to ServiceNow is the best fit for this tool.

Other tasks are handled by different features: debugging server-side scripts is done with server-side debugging tools like Script Debugger; managing user access control lists relates to ACLs and roles; and generating UI policies is part of configuring UI Policy rules.
