I can’t ping or contact api.wordpress.org

Ping isn’t really a good test. If you have CLI access from your server then try this curl command from their. Here’s what happens when I try that.

$ curl https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/
define('AUTH_KEY',         'quZT^:/@,rH+_GOmy|Aab2||(An<1!+nI#0E<[)-(E@+%=5e1E.wP*k iM}<L!PN');
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY',  'KDaA)rup-_eoR,V3eUhE3c&f-<.{re)n^_oUi$?j.WCT7HF|8C! ov+p)g^RSoG+');
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY',    ',7Yu)[bI[p[_Rffjn>L+m[P@ChrZ5J#hoW;-NyW;l/|gk>-,wk+=|neM+=Ixf2oo');
define('NONCE_KEY',        'uH!W-C]U^ TljM{.b8ielGw <cz=5+F3:476A4+rR]>Y:U$SOa%:Ww#B}Rn9O0#S');
define('AUTH_SALT',        ',32e,-h&R3$JqK-!h1v5Xpnt,E(b@8AI5rwUs;t-,5qen]Jt6s/%..h|x+S71UGe');
define('SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'g?~rco$i?#3PHhiT*,o[n:Ac^)@g#M9=GWD6%DOL]|.{<+2]Hd}Dk0f^SI@bd?o:');
define('LOGGED_IN_SALT',   '++}b#EK1v<-:8ni8Ob@gF?)uu*?_7f~W?B!+b1EIi!U-nY<x~tG4;rlH2cMTz5]n');
define('NONCE_SALT',       'R>-V=O;hQpVLouSY@7]y[]9R9N+?zFoG04-MIICK>TQ$Tl-}G2^+{~Ecv]=GR?.!');

$

Which means everything is working. I can resolve that name to an IP, I can establish a TLS connection and I can ask for https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/ and get a reply.

What do you get when you run that command? This command on the CLI.

curl https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/
