Get "List of Reminders" and "Update a Reminder" Out Of Session

Hi all,

i need to get the list of reminders to update the info and, for instance, change the time in OUT OF SESSION mode, in order to manage the reminders in a custom app, without speak to the device.

I have reviewed all the recommended links in this forum. I am not able to find out the way to perform this operations.

I am able to get an access token, but with this access token i cannot use the reminders api.

With more detail:

I get the Bearer token with using this url:

https://api.amazon.com/auth/o2/token

After getting the token correctly I try this to get all the reminders using this url:

https://api.eu.amazonalexa.com/v1/alerts/reminders

But I always get 401 error.

All the people asking for this topic are missing something.

Using this token i can send successfully a message to my skill using the url https://api.eu.amazonalexa.com/v1/skillmessages/users/amzn1.ask.account.AFVOXXXXXXXXX

But i don´t know the relationship between the reminders APIand the messagging API.

Do you have some example code to get the reminders using out of session mode.

Please, can someone help me in some way.

Thanks a lot.

@Jason@amazon Can you please help out with how do we extract the consent token and also how we pass the consent token the subsequent request.

I need this for writing a custom code which would list reminders of a person

Please reach out on a new post instead of commenting on a slightly older thread so that we can get to your cases more quickly and avoid bringing up older cases for new questions.

As per my previous comment on this thread, you need to call the Skill Messaging API - you will find that there is actually a consentToken parameter you can use:

https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/smapi/skill-messaging-api-reference.html#consent-token-in-permissions-object-in-requests

Once you've called the Skill Messaging API by using the access token and user ID (as per the previous comment, as well as the information on this link: https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/smapi/skill-messaging-api-reference.html#skill-service-must-send-acknowledgments-to-the-skill-messaging-api), you will receive the consentToken with the permissions parameter for use in out-of-session interactions.

We don't have any particular samples on this, but try working with the Skill Messaging API first so that you have an idea of how this might work. Good luck!

When you obtain the Skill Messaging API access token, you then need to use this access token along with the userId you retrieve through customer interaction to call the Skill Messaging API in order to retrieve the customer consent token - this is what you use to access reminders out-of-session:

Reading through the documentation, this is not at all clear. It would be so helpful if this was clarified in the documentation.

I think your writers suffer from the "curse of knowledge" -> struggling to explain the things they know well.
