I have a few smart devices that can all be controlled through Alexa (e.g. "Hey Alexa, turn on the fan to 50% speed"). Is there an API that I can use to programmatically trigger certain Alexa Skill intent. I know there is a way to use text-to-speech to do so, but that feels very janky, and I would love to know if there's a native API for Alexa intents that can be programmatically triggered.

  • Unfortunately it is not possible, It requires authentification and it is not available outside of Alexa, yet. – callmemath May 19 '22 at 08:44

No, Alexa does not expose an API. The whole point of Alexa and the Echo devices is to provide a voice interface which then calls an API to get things done. It seems like you want an API to trigger a voice response system that then calls an API to get something done.
