Query multiple tables with Servicenow Rest API and Powershell

Export
[Joey (accepted answer)]: Depends on what direction your join is (target parent, reference child vs target child, reference parent) If you're dot-walking through reference fields on the target table, you can just do it in the query like assigned_to.first_name=bob, and it will automatically join sc_task to sys_user on the assigned_to reference field. If you're not actually dot-walking, but rather looking to walk down into child records like if you were querying the problem table, but wanted to join a Related List like related incidents where the child incident table has a reference field named problem_id pointing back up to your target problem table, you could create a Database view joining problem to incident on incident.problem_id = problem.sys_id, and name it something like problem_incidents. Then, you can just treat that Database View like a table (as far as the REST API is concerned) like https://instance.service-now.com/api/now/table/problem_incidents
