ServiceNow 'schema' and 'meta' APIs, and why system integrations should use them

Don't use the 'admin' role because an integration wants to know about ServiceNow tables and fields, use the 'schema' and 'meta' APIs instead.

That is very useful, thanks! It has always very painful when you have to document the APIs for the customers and via this way.. they can just reduce the back and forth in the conversations.

Thanks a ton! The only thing that is a bit confusing from at the first glance is the 4 different properties for 'type':

• type
• base_type
• internal_type
• column_type

Do you which is what?
