Hello Amit,
You can pass the Authorization token as pasrt of header. with key "Authorization" the value is token norally starts with "Basic...".

You mentioned that you tested in Appian itself.
I would suggest you to test your WEB API through any API tester tool like postman. With Postman the Authorization key will get generated automatically. Based on the credentials provided by you.

Hello Amit,

Just consume web api url to desired third party systems by using basic authorization(Appian credentials).
