Insert arguments into Rest dataset

Question

Hi

I have a linked service (ServiceNow) which I assume is just using a Rest API. Had a look around for docs on using this linked service but I cannot find any. Also asked on the ServiceNow forums but got no answers.

What I am wondering is how I can inject arguments into the dataset/pipeline in ADF for things like paging. As an example in Postman a parameter/argument would be sys_parmquery=number=INC1234.

How would I insert this into my ADF dataset or pipeline?

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Dave Gray ,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.
I was looking at the document for ServiceNow implementation on ADF here and I see that we do refer to tables and if you know the table name, then you should be able to get all the records from ServiceNow. Yes, the API, which is being called in is not exposed.

Just in case if you still want to query the data with a REST API , the please use the REST connector > https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-rest?tabs=data-factory

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks
