* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read

In addition to employing inbound and outbound web services to integrate with ServiceNow apps, other resources are available to you, such as scripted
GraphQL, Javascript, and API developer guides.
* **[Using extension points to extend application functionality](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/agUCalbZ4ypHMncaJXRaoQ)**   
  Use extension points to extend the functionality of an application without altering the original application code. You can use pre-existing extension points available in selected ServiceNow AI Platform applications, or you can add extension points when you develop custom applications in your own instance.
* **[Manage connection pooling](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/T5hHBLUuV4ktwL9u2b6Y1g)**   
  Outbound HTTP(S) connections from a base system instance or inbound connections from MID Servers, the ODBC driver, and other clients are maintained and reused where possible.
* **[Create data sources from other apps using ODBC driver](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Ht5Uo9ydDAxpJ84_fKUgvg)**   
  The ServiceNow open database connectivity (ODBC) driver provides read-only access to the database associated with your ServiceNow instance.
* **[Understanding domain separation and web services](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/XXzPd2eo0ZHQiTHvCccLIA)**   
  Domain separation is supported in Web Services. Domain separation enables you to separate data, processes, and administrative tasks into logical groupings called domains. You can control several aspects of this separation, including which users can see and access data.
* **[Analyze REST and SOAP API usage](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/74VmpQyUrRf8wAQfbNJCJw)**   
  REST and SOAP API analytics allow you to track and analyze web service API usage.
* **[Query record data using the GraphQL API framework](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/2Q1cirFC~oyqNuLWkaEpyQ)**   
  Create a custom GraphQL API to query record data from a component or a third-party system.
