This repository contains an (experimental) API SDK for Alexa's Skill Management API written in PHP.

In order to test it locally, you need to have an account on the Alexa Developer Console as well as a configured skill.

Once that's in place, run composer install; then create a .env file in the root of this repo and fill in the skill id.

Last, run make env-renew-token: that should open a browser and write a token in your env file once you authenticate.

You are now ready to try the examples by running php examples/get_skill.php and start tinkering with your skill.

Quite unfortunately the only supported OAuth2 grant type is "authorization code", which forces the user to authenticate using a browser. In order to make things a bit simpler, there are two helper make targets that automate some parts of the process.

make token

make env-renew-token

Tokens are stored in ~/.ask/cli_config
