I'm trying to write a simple skill in python to access a custom Alexa shopping list by name have the skill say what the items are on the list. I cannot find any examples close to what I would like my skill to do that are written in python. The Amazon example 'skill-demo-list-access' comes close but it is not using python.
Where can one find a complete python example to access user's custom Alexa shopping list? Thanks.
HOORAY!!! I finally found an answer after a week's worth of searching. Thank you very very much to the unnamed person that posted it. One can go here http://design-interviews.blogspot.com/2018/06/alexa-skill-shopping-list-python.html to see how it's done in Python. The access part of the code is complete but one will have to work with it to get it integrated into a skill but at least the shopping list can be retrieved.
For instance one will need to import urllib and json and change the references to urlib2.Request to urllib.request.Request. A few minor things like that but if a beginner like me can get it working then anyone can.
Wouldn't it be nice if Amazon linked a Python example to their Python documentation on accessing the shopping list instead of providing an example in Node.js code? Just saying.
