Question

Unable to expose data using web API

I am currently working on integrating Appian with an external system by exposing Appian RecordType data through a Web API. However, I am running into an issue because the Community Edition does not provide access to the Admin Console, and without access, I cannot generate an API key needed for authenticating my API requests.

Is there any way to achieve this ?

For testing purposes, you could use a basic authentication using your normal user account.

I was just testing it on Postman. After selecting Basic Auth, even though I am entering my Appian username and password correctly, it is showing me 'Authentication failed. Please check your credentials and try again.

This should work. Find the documentation here: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.4/Web_API_Authentication.html#basic-authentication
