This is an Alexa Skills training video tutorial from Alexa Developers. Here is the YouTube video description:
In this video we’ll continue our course and explain a functionality that is used very frequently by Alexa skill developers: accessing external APIs. Alexa skills are not closed environments hence you can connect to external services from the skill back-end. We’ll show how to do this from a node.js based lambda using the Axios library.
Topics Covered:
1. Fetch external API (async/await, axios)
2. Progressive Response
