You can also retrieve information about catalog requests, stacks getting status, and other information. This API is included in the `now` namespace and requires the sn\_cmp.cloud\_service\_user role. The Cloud Services Catalog \(CSC\) application is available as a separate subscription and requires either the ITOM Enterprise bundle or ITOM Cloud Accelerate product Entitlement. The Cloud Services Catalog API features actions you perform during Day 2 operations. In the context of this API, resource catalog items refer to catalog items related to Day 2 operations. To use this API, ensure that you have completed the Cloud Services Catalog guided setup process or have a working configuration where provisioning and catalog operations are working in the UI. For more information about these steps, see [Cloud Services Catalog](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/it-operations-management/csc-home.md). **Parent Topic:**[REST API reference](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/api-rest.md) ## Cloud Services Catalog - GET /now/cmp\_catalog\_api/itemsbyciclass Returns a list of resource catalog items based on a given configuration item \(CI\) class. ### URL format Default URL: `/api/now/cmp_catalog_api/itemsbyciclass` ### Supported request parameters |Name|Description| |----|-----------| |None| |
