It's a get request so you just need to call it with the API key in the header. You could also just try a curl request as described here: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.2/Web_API_Authentication.html

curl https://example.appian.com/suite/webapi/endpoint -H "Appian-API-Key: ${API_KEY}"

Otherwise, maybe you can post screenshots of both your Web API and Integration/Connected System - might be easier.

Sorry but I'm having trouble with postman.
I don't know if the problem is my API or my configuration, do you know a tutorial that I can Follow?
What is it an example of request that I have to send to my get API?

Thanks,
Daniele

A lots of developer sue Postman as a tool for testing Web Services:

It's a useful tool to test independently of Appian.

1. locally it works, I use the test button, so yes for the second question too.

2. I can't test it that way right now, if you know some tool to test it will be very helpful.

Yes, I'm passing the api key generated, I had some problem with authentication but now it works and return this error.

It seems like that the integrations sends a request that isn't compatible with the Web API

Hi Daniele

does your WebAPI work locally? That is, does it successfully complete using the built in test harness in the WebAPI designer?
does your WebAPI work when called from a tool such as SOAP UI or PostMan?

You should be able to call your WebAPI from an Integration in another Appian environment. I assume you're passing the API key value you generated for the associated Service Account?
