Can't reach Node JS api behind Cloud9

Question

I am creating a simple rest api with hapi and using Cloud9 IDE. I can access the API endpoint within the same browser as the IDE uses but can't reach the api with code. Instead of JSON output I get the Cloud9 sign in page source.

Any ideas to set this up correctly?

Your workspace is probably private. You can choose to make your server public by performing the following steps:

• Sign into c9.io and open the workspace in question
• Click on the 'Share' menu on the top left of the IDE
• When the Share dialog opens, check 'Public' next to the 'Application' row
• Close the sharing dialog and test accessing your server from the api again.

Hope this helps!
