This service allows you to access the public REST APIs exposed by your ServiceNow instance.\n\nIn addition, you can develop custom scripted REST APIs within your ServiceNow instance and access them within your Android application using the [NowAPIService](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/cllent-mobile-api-reference/NowAPIServiceAndroidInterface.md) API.

After you upload an attachment to your instance, it generates metadata for the attachment that you can then download into your Android application.\n\nFor additional information on ServiceNow attachments, see [Attachment API](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/c_AttachmentAPI.md).\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|----|----|-----------|\n|instanceURL|[URL](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/net/URL.html)|URL of the ServiceNow instance to access.

For additional information on the REST Table API, see [Table API](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/c_TableAPI.md).\n\n|Name|Type|Description|\n|----|----|-----------|\n|instanceURL|[URL](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/net/URL.html)|URL of the ServiceNow instance to access.
