Went and got an API key. But the call fails.
Unclear why. The return value doesn't provide any clues.

I want to kick off deployments in an automated manner - this was the first step that I can't get past.

   "v2" tokens require account information in the URL. Try it with:

   https://ci.appveyor.com/api/account/{your-account-name}/environments

   Ok, I've tried https://ci.appveyor.com/api/account/rgelb/environments and https://ci.appveyor.com/api/account/[email blocked]/environm...

   Both return 401.
   What else am I missing?

   rgelb does not look like a real account name. You can see account name in the header of AppVeyor web portal, next to its logo.

   This is my user name. I tried the following, none worked.

   https://ci.appveyor.com/api/account/robert%20gelb/environments
   https://ci.appveyor.com/api/account/robert gelb/environments
   https://ci.appveyor.com/api/account/robertgelb/environments

   It's on the left, next to AppVeyor logo, please see attached screenshot.

   Or it's in URL between "account" and "projects" like on my screenshot.

   Ahhh, ok. That was completely different from my login name. Cool. Thanks.

   You don't have, by any chance, a sample project (in whatever language) that looks for the last successful build for a specific project name, then deploys it to a specific environment.

   Ah, nope, sorry. It should be fairly trivial since you've got API usage basics. Btw, you can see all API requests on "Network" tab of your browser while doing actions via UI.
