Trying to create a webhook on Autodesk where the callbackUrl is an Appian web API

Hi,

I'm trying to post a webhook on Autodesk which callbackurl is an Appian web API. The problem I have, I can't expose any Appian service without authentication, and on the post method I don't see any option where I can write an API-key or something similar, only the callbackurl.

Is there any method where I can expose an Appian Web Api?

Only seems to support a "secret token" which is surprising like Stefan has mentioned.

I think you probably have the best solution with the APIM.

No, any API access to Appian must be authenticated. But, to be honest, I find it hard to believe that Autodesk does not support authentication for callbacks.

Hi Stefan, I thought the same, but actually an autodesk webhook configuration only expect a callbackurl (https://aps.autodesk.com/en/docs/webhooks/v1/reference/http/webhooks/systems-system-events-event-hooks-POST/).

Finally I will use an API manager which recieve the webhook call and comunicates with appian.

Thanks anyway for your reply

    You could try to use basic authentication like in the curl examples:
