This is some rough nodejs code, but should get you started;
var https = require('https');
var username = '';
var password = '';
var url = 'dev32369.service-now.com';
var auth = 'Basic ' + new Buffer(username + ':' + password).toString('base64');
https.request({
host: url,
port: 443,
path: '/api/now/table/sys_report?sysparm_query=field_listISNOTEMPTY&sysparm_fields=sys_id,title,filter,field,table,field_list&sysparm_limit=2',
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Authorization': auth,
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
}, function (reportResponse) {
console.log('STATUS: ' + reportResponse.statusCode);
// console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
var reportResponseBody = '';
reportResponse.setEncoding('utf8');
reportResponse.on('data', function (chunk) {
reportResponseBody += chunk;
// console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
});
reportResponse.on('end', function () {
var reports = JSON.parse(reportResponseBody).result;
console.log(reports);
if (reports[0].field_list != '') {
for (var x = 0; x < reports.length; x++) {
var report = reports[x];
var path = '';
path += '/api/now/table/' + report.table;
path += '?sysparm_fields=' + report.field_list;
path += '&sysparm_query=' + encodeURIComponent(report.filter);
path += '&sysparm_display_value=true';
path += '&sysparm_exclude_reference_link=true';
// path += '&sysparm_limit=2';
console.log(path);
var optionsCSV = {
host: url,
port: 443,
path: path,
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Authorization': auth,
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
};
console.log(optionsCSV);
https.request(optionsCSV, function (csvResponse) {
try {
var csvResponseBody = '';
csvResponse.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log('downloading report[' + report.title + ']...');
csvResponseBody += chunk;
});
csvResponse.on('end', function () {
//console.log(csvResponseBody);
var csvResponseObj = JSON.parse(csvResponseBody).result;
console.log(csvResponseObj);
//this is a json obj but you can rewriet is csv here
});
csvResponse.on('error', function (err) {
console.log(err);
});
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
}).end();
}
}
});
}).end();
