ServiceNow NowSDK Instance Auth Setup: Basic & OAuth Explained

Welcome to Episode 2 of our ServiceNow NowSDK series! In this tutorial, we walk you through the complete ServiceNow NowSDK instance authentication setup, covering both Basic Auth and OAuth 2.0 methods. If you've installed the NowSDK but can't connect it to your ServiceNow instance yet, this is the exact step-by-step guide you need. Learn how to wake up your PDI sandbox, add an instance, create credential aliases, switch between profiles, and troubleshoot common authentication errors directly from your VS Code terminal. By the end of this video, your laptop and ServiceNow instance will be fully authenticated and ready for Episode 3, where we build a real ServiceNow application using Claude AI from Anthropic in plain English.

Whether you're a ServiceNow developer, admin, or just exploring the new SDK with AI-assisted development, this guide will save you hours of frustration.
