I have recently strated learning about Alexa skills. I was wondering if we could access different websites using alexa. For example, "Alexa, show me my facebook notifications"

So far I have seen examples of how we can create WebAPIs using Amazon API Gateway. But can we access a different website or a blog with GET or POST method that is not using Amazon API Gateway.

Also, what authorizations will be needed to do this?

Yes, it is possible to have that kind of functionality.

Currently, I'm developing with nodejs and use the request-promise module for making HTTP request to my server.

Also, there is a nice tutorial using the request npm module.

  • Thanks but the tutorial you linked is out dated now (it does not use SDK v2). Any link that show how to handle http request with SDK v2 ? (using canHandle() and handle() functions) – Ashbay May 01 '18 at 15:08
