HTML error while connecting between Appian to Appian instances.

I have webAPI in Instance A expecting a small set of json payload(4-5 field), nothing crazy.

I have Integration build on Instance B to call the WebApi of instance A. Passed the API keyfrom Instance A as needed to instance B.

WebAPI --> API Key --> Integration etc.

I am receiving weird error, looks like some authentication issue but is coming in HTML format and could not get more info from logs either.

Saying JSON is invalid but JSON is valid.

Can someone please help me on this?
