 ServiceNow Service Mapping

We are currently in the process of doing ServiceNow Service Mapping.  What Service Mapping does is for a given entry point (URL) it will attempt to discover all devices, applications and configuration profiles use in the applications.  My challenge is when the map gets to the API Gateways it has now out of the box way to discover the next step in the map.  Typically what happens is the URL goes through the F5 Load balancers successfully but then stops at the API Gateway.  Currently what I am having to do is get the routes out of the F5's and give those to our API Gateway Team and then they supply the endpoint Mapping. Then I need to manually add the endpoints in order for the map to continue.  
Is there a way, possibly via RestAPI,  that I can supply a entry point and programmatically retrieve the endpoint mapping from the API Gateway?  If that is possible I would be able to develop a custom pattern to automatically retrieve the endpoint and continue on with out need to bug my api team.  


Thanks in advance for any help or advice

Hi Gary:

I am a little unclear on your Use Case for endpoint extraction but if you look at RESTMan, if published in the gateway and you have a secure way to access it, you will probably be able to accomplish what you need.
