Thanks for the suggestion however, it seems that everything I do I get authentication error so most probably there must be a firewall configuration that I am not aware of.

I assume that if there was some special firewall, you'd probably know about it as it has to be requested by the owners of the environment as far as I know.

The exact CURL statement i've been using successfully is as follows (with sanitized url and api key, otherwise unchanged):

curl -k https://myserver.appiancloud.com/suite/webapi/HelloWorld -H "Appian-API-Key:123412341234123412341234"

I have tried different combinations:

1)curl -u ${USERNAME}:${PASSWORD} https://example.appian.com/suite/webapi/endpoint

where for username and password I used my appian credentials.

2)curl example.appian.com/.../endpoint -H "Appian-API-Key: ${API_KEY}" where as API_KEY i used the API-Key that was generated when I created the service user.

No, I can access the environment without using any VPNs.

How can I check if there any special firewall ?

Can you post the exact syntax of the CURL command you've attempted? Also, is your environment behind any special firewalls or other unique network configurations?
