Welcome to the Alexa Skill Management API (SMAPI) Space

Today we announced that developers can now programmatically manage and test their skills with the Alexa Skill Management API (SMAPI) and the Alexa Skills Kit Command-line Interface (ASK CLI), new features in the Alexa Skills Kit.

You can now perform a full range of skill management and testing functions directly from the command line and with REST APIs using the Alexa Skills Kit Command Line Interface (ASK CLI) and the Alexa Skill Management API (SMAPI). Use ASK CLI for programmatic management of your own skills. Use SMAPI for creating tools that include skill management in their workflow.

To continue learning more, please see our blog post here.

Hi,

When I run 'ask init' a login browser page is opened. I login with my amazon account, and I am geting a Success message, but in the console I am geting the next error:

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Menlo; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff} span.s1 {font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures}

	Call list-vendors error.
	Error code: 401
	{
	"message": "You are not authorized to access this operation."
	}

Can you help me?

Hey, when I'm trying to get my skill info via SMAPI with token I got from Login with Amazon it says "User has not consented to this operation"? What am I doing wrong?

Hi RJ,

Could you please try uninstalling the CLI and reinstalling?

You can do this by

$ npm uninstall -g ask-cli

Then

$ npm install -g ask-cli

Please run "ask init" again after reinstalling, then let us know if it still doesn't work.

Thanks!

Peter

Necroing this thread as I ran into this problem as well. I was getting the error

Switch to 'Login with Amazon' page...

Tokens fetched and recorded in ask-cli config.

Call list-vendors error.

Error code: 401

{

"message": "You are not authorized to access this operation."

}

when calling "ask init"

turns out the account that you need to sign into when the process opens the web browser is the Alexa developers account. NOT the aws console account. Once I did that everything worked as expected

Hi Leia, is there a reference example of the ~/.ask/cli_config someplace? I'm trying to figure out how to set deployment defaults. Thanks!

Leia - Thanks a lot. I was really waiting for something like this. Seems like I don't permissions to use this API yet. Can you please guide me how to get permission to use the SMAPI?

I am getting following error:

AWS credential detected.
Switch to Login with Amazon page...
Tokens fetched and written to cli config.
Call list-vendors error.
Error code: 403
{ message: 'User is not authorized to access this operation.' }

Thanks,

RJ
